Reply With QuoteA bit off topic, but why is it swab results come back within a week but prizemoney is held onto for 6 weeks? I thought the prizemoney was held onto pending swab results in NSW?
Another positive in harness racing NSW. This time Peter Morris Snr. His runner This Boy returned an elevated TCO2 reading after running second on Tuesday at Menangle.
You think he would have learnt seeing his son was outed for 14 months or so just last month.
Here's the stewards note:
Stewards today received confirmation that the pre race blood samples taken from the pacer THIS BOY which raced at Menangle on 27 September 2011 has returned an elevated TCO2 reading above the threshold.
Therefore, it is deemed to be a positive swab.
Trainer Peter Morris Snr has been informed and THIS BOY has been stood down under Rule 183 pending the outcome of an Inquiry.
The Inquiry date is yet to be finalised.

The analysis of these samples takes considerably more time than a TCO2 test which can be performed in hours. In fact the confirmatory analysis of TCO2 is usually completed in just one more day after the initial test shows positive.
Thank you for clearing that up.Your advice, as always, is appreciated
Gee whiz, the Morris family are running out of family members to train their horses. Whats next Robbie to get his trainers licence or a return to Kerryann Turner?
Not sure that either will be allowed under the new policy in NSW.
I like that new policy. It makes a lot of sense.
For anyone not familiar with the changes , have a read here http://www.harnesslink.com/www/Article.cgi?ID=92059

With the amount of recent positives maybe its time they overhaul the TC02 thresholds.....
Is your suggestion up or down.
Up......if it was down then the Industry would be gone. Every man and his dog will be getting positives.
Its been a very long time since any research has been done.
Maybe its time..???
