So how do we feel about Beautide winning the Len Smith and returning a reading of 43 ug/L. Perfectly legal of course but at least 4 times the Median of all those SWABs

From the daily advertiser, Waggas local paper about a month ago.
Stockton says "He's flying Colin and he just seems to like it out at home," Stockton said."I don't know what the secret is with him."
Any takers on guessing what the secret is?
This is a great example you have brought up Brendan. Colin John had only ever won one race 2yrs ago before going to the Stockton stable and now running 3rd in the Country Final at Menangle a forthight ago, he rated about 1.54.5
Unfortunately he is probably one of those really high readings at the bottom of the table listed as Inquiry Pending.
What we really need to know is how much 100ug/L improves a horse as the use of this stuff could become a farce.
Does Cobalt Chloride have any significant nutritional value and if not I believe it should have a very low acceptable threshold. The second link below suggests not:
"Cobalt is a constituent of vitamin B-12, and as a result, there is no RDA for it - but we'd be talking microgram amounts if we were discussing how much you could expect to find in your diet"

If you do a quick google search it just shows how this fight agaist the CHEATS will be ongoing for a very long while and will need a lot of capital poured into it to even keep up!

What I read into this list is that some trainers are way behind the eight ball and with the threshold set at 200 it gives them the green light to load up the syringe and start pumpin' . lock and load boys . What a shame this once proud industry has come to this . Gotta ask ourselves . At the start of breeding season "what the hell are we doing
That service fee would get us a new motor for the boat" .
