Thank you to Equineexellence for passing on the following info.
It certainly is interesting to compare

What a great result for Harness Racing Victoria , congratulations to them.


I believe that a way to , even further , lift public confidence would be for ALL swab results from ALL codes to be made available for public scrutiny via a dedicated website. This would leave NO questions.

"more than 40 out-of-competition swab samples have been collected over the past two days."

Out-of-competition testing occurs days, weeks, or months before a horse's race, or between races. Its goal is to determine if horses are training on prohibited drugs that can enhance performance on race day.Blood doping drugs like Epogen (EPO) cause the body to produce additional blood cells that allow the athlete – horse or human – to increase their oxygen carrying capacity. The drug can only be detected for approximately three days after administration. The performance-enhancing effects will last up to 120 days – which is the life span of a red blood cell.
Many anabolic steroids are like blood doping drugs in that the performance enhancing effects far exceed the short time frame of detection.
States with little or no out-of-competition testing have invited their horsemen to cheat with impunity.

I remember someone way back told me this

Interesting to see where the horse was just a few weeks before being transferred to B McCarthy.

Glenn Douglas had a double at Cobram yesterday. How this stable is still in existence is an indictment on our industry

"The particulars of Charge 1 were that Mr Douglas frustrated the investigation of the Stewards by not ensuring the immediate notification of the death of the horse ‘Talk To The Hand’, by arranging the removal of the horse from the course and by permitting the horse to be buried in Boundary Bend, Victoria, with asbestos piping, actions which inhibited the extent of the post-mortem autopsy conducted upon the horse"
