Meanwhile in Europe... Souloys owners have been taking horses off him at a rapid rate. His horses are banned from racing in northern Europe and now Italy. The ones left have been transferred to his brother in law who hasn't trained one since May 2013. And those ones? They were transferred to him by another trainer banned at the time for horse doping.
May well be a lost in translation thing but did I read some high profile owners whose integrity would be beyond reproach found Souloys practices so abhorrent they reacted by removing their horses? Didn't this guy have form? Some owners are so gallant...hmmm

That's the way I read it too. Appears some face saving going on as they copping heaps for giving him horses in first place. Owners probably not happy about having to pay back prize money too. And if they stay with him their racing opportunities limitedQuote:

Wasn't charged in 2012 Sweden because his 'drip' disappeared. Wanted to give to horse because was dehydrated. Vet wanted to see his drip. Disappeared before got chance to examine it.
Was there this year for Elitlop and stabling area not like over here. There's not one big shed with all horses in like over here. Lots of little buildings all over the place some occupied by just one trainers team. Didn't see a lot of security around buildings when I was there and horses inside buildings away from view. Says no positives to Cobalt in pre race tests which maybe done when horses arrive on course. Pre heat his horse test 400. Pre final 379. Heats and final same day so lots other factors involved but Nuncio appeared to have every chance get past his horse in heat and couldn't. In final sat outside it and won. It's Cobalt reading 1.2.

They have not been charged over their positive from nearly a year ago and say they are perplexed to have 2 more positives - one over 600mg/l
That's a funny photo Kev.
A very good read Trish thank you for sharingQuote:

That is a good thing IMO, some who are flirting with cobalt may have to be a bit more careful.
As posted by Lasse
(k) Cobalt at a concentration at or below 100 micrograms per litre in urine or 25 micrograms per litre in plasma
http://www.harnesslink.com/Australia...rules---Cobalt
In the article recently linked by Trish, I noticed that mg/l urine would seem to be far more reliable
In a study where different laboratories across the globe tested the same samples, the variation between testing laboratories was as high as 82% for the testing in serum and 23% in urine. Because of the greater agreement between lab testing methods using urine, the international community has settled on a urine threshold of 100 mcg/mL raceday threshold for uniformity.

any good for people i need a lift.................arsenic seems to be the new cobalt
It would seem that the supply chain may have been severed or buried underground...

the link has been closed down !!!!!
I saw the words Cobalt and fast track in the Marcus Today Newsletter and thought he had started a Harness section
"Cobalt Blue is looking to raise $10m as a pure play listed Cobalt company with the backing of Geoff Hill. Cobalt Blue wants to fast-track development of the Thackaringa Cobalt Project in NSW. Cobalt is an integral part of the next generation of lithium-ion batteries."

They don't mess around in SA
He will probably appeal and keep apealng and still be training in 12 months like C Demmler

"ON Thursday 15 December 2016 Harness Racing NSW suspended the licences of trainer/driver, Mr Shannon Lindsay, pursuant to Australian Harness Racing Rule 183."
"HRNSW Stewards considered all available evidence at that time and determined that Rule 183 should be invoked based on ........."
"Mr Lindsay has not been charged with any breach of the Rules and has been advised of his rights of appeal against the imposition of Rule 183."
http://www.harnesslink.com/Europe/Fr...ned-and-fined-
France's 'Mr Group 1' and 4 other trainers suspended over Cobalt positives
http://www.harnesslink.com/News/Dalg...fends-his-name
This shocked me.
I think I read somewhere that their had NOT been any positives to cobalt in harness in NZ...(on here).
Aren't the trainers accountable for checking the feed so that positive swabs to cobalt are not present? Implying that feed supplements or a change in feed causing the positive swab seems to be a common defence. It will all come out in the investigation which appears to be in the early stages.
“I am hoping the RIU investigations will show that but I won’t be getting into a big legal battle with them"
They must all be amazing people in NZ for Cran to think he won't/shouldn't have to
When you're on a first name basis Kev; RIU boss Mike Godber..."Cran’s other horses..."Quote:

On a lighter note, Kev, you mentioned in another thread the stand down rule 183 might be irrelevant these days. A State based thing??
