Hi Steve, If RV have set a threshold you would think HRV would have done the same. I can not find anything either but someone will let you know.

I have searched high and low through the AHRC rule book and HRV local rule amendments and I can not find a rule that bans cobalt chloride or defines the measurable threshold. HRV are saying they have got a positive swab for cobalt, I cannot see how HRV can charge a trainer for using cobalt if there is no rule or threshold against it. Im wondering how HRV can charge a trainer, under what rule can they charge them for using cobalt?

You would think HRV would have a threshold, my experience in harness racing tells me to assume nothing!

Are you satisfied with 2 years Trish? Seems a good starting point to me. Those with previous form might not agree.
Hi Toni . I think that's really positive , but I would love to see anyones second offence with such drugs their last
Just a question. And you can ALL answer.....With regard to no particular reading , level or offence . At what level should the stewards notify the RSPCA that a cruelty offence may have been committed?
Not sure but if harness racing for any space in newspapers they would already know. Is the level that affects racing the same level that is a cruelty issue?
yeehaa yipee lets get rid of all the drug cheats and cheer the stewards for cleaning the industry up. by the way they are going we will be left with a bunch of losing trainers and punters that go to a pub on afternoon or evening having a bet . who the hell wants to back a bunch of whinging losing trainers or a bunch of trolls jealous on others success. they risk life and limb to get the success. the trots are the red hots. the good old saying goes if ya cant beat em join em. why would i want to feed losing trainers? or harbour them for that matter? they keep the industry running 1. product , 2. winners for the punters, 3. returns for the owners, 4. a good image for outsiders looking in.
for christ sake look at it from a punters perspective they want to back winners and not people they havent heard of that rarely get winners, let alone they safety issues to all the whingers that are bagging all the trainers and industry. lets face the facts whingers dont have a go or are not good enough and want the competition gone so they can take over. it doesnt work like that. horses are expensive to keep in training & and returns with losing trainers , well thats a no brainer - why should people spend their hard earned on losers? losers should just go and find another hobby, and it will be cheaper for the people that spend money on horses for losers to waste. p.s - if i still owned horses id want my horses running places and not winning so they didnt get up in grades, so it would be a pleasure for cheats to keep winning so my horses racing life would be preserved.
