Meanwhile in Europe... Souloys owners have been taking horses off him at a rapid rate. His horses are banned from racing in northern Europe and now Italy. The ones left have been transferred to his brother in law who hasn't trained one since May 2013. And those ones? They were transferred to him by another trainer banned at the time for horse doping.
May well be a lost in translation thing but did I read some high profile owners whose integrity would be beyond reproach found Souloys practices so abhorrent they reacted by removing their horses? Didn't this guy have form? Some owners are so gallant...hmmm
Was that the win dedicated to his father, Val, who had only recently passed away?
That's the way I read it too. Appears some face saving going on as they copping heaps for giving him horses in first place. Owners probably not happy about having to pay back prize money too. And if they stay with him their racing opportunities limited
Form? Was all just 'speculation' I think although not shortage of trainers coming out now saying something was going on.
Wasn't charged in 2012 Sweden because his 'drip' disappeared. Wanted to give to horse because was dehydrated. Vet wanted to see his drip. Disappeared before got chance to examine it.
Was there this year for Elitlop and stabling area not like over here. There's not one big shed with all horses in like over here. Lots of little buildings all over the place some occupied by just one trainers team. Didn't see a lot of security around buildings when I was there and horses inside buildings away from view. Says no positives to Cobalt in pre race tests which maybe done when horses arrive on course. Pre heat his horse test 400. Pre final 379. Heats and final same day so lots other factors involved but Nuncio appeared to have every chance get past his horse in heat and couldn't. In final sat outside it and won. It's Cobalt reading 1.2.

They have not been charged over their positive from nearly a year ago and say they are perplexed to have 2 more positives - one over 600mg/l
