HRNSW are so far ahead of VIC - in correspondence with Vic I suggested they should consider monitoring Harnesslink to keep abreast of people's concerns but only got the response that they probably read the forum when time permitsQuote:

What happens if the points from this win makes a difference to the point score in the series.
Wouldn't you think the positive swabs would slow up, they just keep coming. The prospect of a lengthy stint on the side line doesn't seem to frighten some.

Just because a treatment regime didn't swab last year doesn't mean the industry "police" haven't worked it out yet...many of the people going for cobalt have been "treating" their horses during the week for the same way for a loonngg time! and for some reason are having trouble coming to grips with the fact as of a few months ago they cannot continue.Hence the continual flow of cobalt positives......it's quite similar to the bi-carb thing about twenty years ago, many people were feeding/drenching big doses of bi-carb thinking there was nothing wrong with it, and to a certain extent they were right, until a relable test and thresholds were implemented.....and here we are twenty years later and some people are STILL pushing the bouindaries on THAT ONE!
The mentality seems to be for some people that keep pushing until you get busted...then try something else and keep pushing until you get busted FOR THAT!
I think it is no co-incidence that we have so many repeat offenders, it's a personality thing in my humble opinion.

It is definatly a "mind set" thing with an ego twist in my opinion - I am guessing alot of trainers are so overwhelmingly convinced in their minds that their horses "have" to have something without question & are so gung ho about it that all rational thoughts go out the window - also the fear of your team drastically under performing running "on the engine only" after previously having help is where the ego factor kicks in - not to mention the financial side of things,i guess some think its worth the risk to keep the money coming in to continue their life style - also the mentality that everyone who has success is using something so I will too...it goes round n round & pretty much a vicious circleQuote:
