Reply With QuoteI feel sorry for the horse, he is a good race horse that is getting his name tarnished because of someone's wrong doing(whom ever that may be).
The hearing is adjourned till next Tuesday when more evidence will be taken. After that there is talk of a lengthy deliberation.

I don't know what would be worse, being branded a cheat and loosing all respect and integrity over someone else's mistake, or actually being a cheat and getting caught.
I hope what ever verdict is made, for all parties I hope it's the right one..
nom d g,
past case in nz, winning horse tests positive, 100% proven that the horse was given the substance through contamination by being put in another trainers stabling by the club while on course
horse still loses race
cannot see how LJ can do any better then that in his defence
Possibly if he can prove that contamination occurred when the post race sample was being taken or being tested and therefore that the horse did not race with DMSO when it won the Grand Final.
can we have a vote,
who thinks it was contamination before the race
who thinks it was a contamination after the race
The silence is deafening

I don't think he can prove that. He can prove it is a possibility, but that's about all. Will be in interesting to see the outcome. I think he will lose the race.
I think you are right pukpuk. If it being a possibility is enough then all swabs are invalid. Below only from a newspaper report on inquiry but what exactly does it mean when it says "omitted a digit" ? Could mean the swabs from another horse?
.Grierson, who has 25 years experience as a racecourse vet, came under
intense questioning from Thomas. She noted he made two errors in the swabbing
process, one in which he omitted a digit on the swab card identification number,
and another when he signed his name on the line marked: steward
If mistakes were made and procedures not followed then surely the swab result is not valid?
