If you had to have a bet, you'd reckon there's a fair chance at least one trainer has used/is using the stuff. It's the nature of our gain. Someone will always take an advantage (legal or otherwise) if they can get one. Be interesting to see if any trainer's results dip after recent publicity.
Who and where are the six positives as stated by you then Barney?
Good work Trish and Barney.

CHIEF steward Ray Murrihy has downplayed suggestions a new performance-enhancing drug is being used in NSW racing.
But Murrihy warned Racing NSW officials will step up surveillance and testing measures after the drug cobalt chloride was found to be in use the harness racing code.
"This substance has been around for 12 months or more in harness racing,'' Murrihy revealed.
"We are well aware of it and if cobalt chloride is in use elsewhere, we must be alive to the prospect someone might experiment with it in the gallops.
"If this is an issue in harness racing, then we won't put our heads in the sand and say it won't happen here.
"There is no intelligence to suggest that is the case in NSW racing but we (stewards) are on top of it and keeping a close eye on things.''
The drug cobalt chloride stimulates a horse's system to produce more erythropoietin thus increasing stamina and endurance.
There has been six positive tests to cobalt chloride in NSW harness racing and the drug has been detected in US racing.
