    Not sure what effect this drug would have on a horse but Lee Hunter did fight to the very end to get the charges dropped. D.Aiken may need to take a leaf out of her book.

    Have a positive in NSW the trainer always gets stood down so why not Aiken. Is this just yet another example of go easy on the big fish but throw the book at the less well known/hobby/battler trainer?

    If the B sample comes back positive he must be stood down or it just makes a joke of the whole "integrity" push. If this was some small time bush trainer they would be treated by the rules, not given special treatment. HRV should insist that NSW follow normal procedures.
    Don't die wondering !

    In Vic usually yes. In Qld & NSW usually no.

    A mischievous/suspicious mind would think that Lenny and his Interdom campaign had a bearing on the no stand down.

    To be fair, the B sample is yet to be tested - a mischievous/suspicious mind would wonder whether that might take longer than usual

    I have been told that this drug can be used to quieten a horse down.
    Somehow that doesn't seem as bad as I feared
    Thoughts?
