Has there been a result for that court challenge?
Yes Kev, there was a report in December http://www.harness.org.au/news-artic...?news_id=25185
There was a follow up, whereby they wanted Sanders to disqualify himself, a finding was released on 14th January (last Week) http://www.harness.org.au/news-artic...?news_id=25454
The inquiries have been rescheduled for Tuesday 27th January 2015
Right - got you. It was the ruling not the result they were waiting on
For sure, awaiting the outcome of NSW harness cases and more particularly the Smith/Murray NSW thoroughbred no limit cases would be the decisive ones with pre October 2014 action. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/horseracing/darren-smith-to-be-a-test-case-before-further-cobalt-announcements-in-nsw-20150115-12r81z.html

I probably had the breeding season and yearling sales period on my mind as much as racing and cobalt. Yep, a level playing field for all, as well as horse welfare the priorities with any substance abuse. The wider ramifications with the release of the HRV notification, perhaps coincidentally, at the start of the breeding season. Instilling confidence in those who were a bit indecisive about owner-breeding this season or in the future. Important when you consider declining foal numbers. Similarly the timing of the latest cobalt events, and reported HRV positive, with the yearling sales period upon us.
Portraying a strong stance against drugs, then following through does have an influence on participation rates in the breeding barn and sales ring with some breeders and buyers.

Danny O'Brien needs to read this

The chance that 200ug/L is a false positive is 2.25 trillion to 1
that is 2,258,000,000,000/1
These cases will go a long way towards determining the integrity of racing in Australia

Has he shot himself in the foot by saying
"It appears to have happened over a period of time on a build-up of their normal race day supplements and treatments," he said.
