Cant say anything about race 5 at newcastle , all i was mentioning drugs today are not a race day issue they can be given up to 2 weeks out in some cases ,
Oh yes there are still some using race day stuff id say you still get people caught with co2 findings but the reason for retention barns was the development of better drugs that could be given a few days out but things like epo and the like is they are a long term use they wont affect a horse the next day but 3-4 days you will see a difference
