It talks about a deep seated corn being identified following the trial on Feb 14

Thanks again to HRNSW Chairman of Stewards Graham Lock for emailing me the following explanation.
Serum is the key word. I have included a definition as well as the one in Graham's snip that I have attached (I hope it copies a bit larger this time)
The clear yellowish fluid obtained upon separating whole blood into its solid and liquid components after it has been allowed to clot. Also called blood serum.
I think many have read 'veterinary product' in the charges and thought serum could mean any liquid
It is great to have a Chairman prepared to clarify things for us
They must be aware that people are very interested in these reports so why not just put the relevant information in the one article. The article should be then published online regardless of who the trainer or driver is. This removes any perception that trainer A gets an advantage or a lesser penalty than Trainer B.

Xylometazoline is a spray for nasal congestion
Interesting to see some of the American posts on this article (about 100 of them). A lot of it sounds similar to Australia and the same frustrations, people giving away the sport, authorities not acting strongly enough, cheats prospering.

He did have a PRBT and SWAB for both of those wins Brendan
Generally speaking as part of the testing process how many things can they actually test in one go? Not too mention at one point they didnt know to test for Cobalt and there is still, to my knowledge, no test for Xenon and Argon gas.
I've heard of trainers being worried about the swab but nothing came from it.
