That is partly the reason drugs like Altrenogest and ulcer treatments were recently removed from the prohibited substances list so that trainers could use them without fear of a penalty we were however about 10 years after the gallops who saw the problem much earlier and changed their rules.

Very well said Bill The problem of ulcers in performance horses was greatly reduced with the availability of the relevant treatments that are now legal to use.

Can someone please clarify something i've just picked up from the race results at Cobram a couple of days ago. After David Kennedy was suspended, he and Jackson Painting have swapped roles, with Kennedy doing the driving and Painting training now?

The horses were moved to Paintings name before David was disqualified, he has appealed the disqualification. Have a look at race 2 Albury last night, Falcoberigora was first past the post but was disqualified for contacting the marker pegs and Blake Jones was fined $200. An inquiry has been adjourned.

Thanks for pointing out what I'd already posted.

Big difference your thread said "after" mine said "before"

Did it matter? Have they just swapped roles?

Nah. Painting will still do the vast majority of the driving alongside Jones.

Is it just me, or is it wrong that you are disqualified as a trainer, but are allowed to drive in races? Pretty sure people like Gaita Pullicino were not even allowed on any property with horses.

As stated above LCL Kennedy has appealed the decision. Surely he is allowed right of appeal. Im certain Gaita was given this right. You will find the reason Kennedy was driving was due to Painting driving at Leeton that evening.
