And Its not possible but wouldn't it be great if HRA took Jeff Gural's Approach & banned cheats from racing at any registered tracks for life......that would be a certainty to either clean up OR finish the sport, it needs to do one or the other because if it doesn't do one the others a certainty!

“I didn’t spend $100 million to build a

racetrack so that dishonest people

could make a living racing there.”

But if NSW are light years ahead, surely their testing will pick it up then?

My comment before explains that the affects of some drugs carries on long after it is possible to get a positive swab

Trish, how do you know what drugs visiting interstate and NZ trainers are using?

If that were true then the hundreds of Kiwi horses in both codes who cross the Tasman to race each year would test positive at some point. To my knowledge none have and some have been there months. The reputations you are smearing here deserve way better than an ill informed wide sweeping rant as you have done here. If you have some proof, lets see it. Otherwise the only person here whose reputation is going down in a hurry is yours.

Haven't smeared anyone's reputation . I said that NSW trainers were put at a disadvantage as the testing procedures here are far more extensive and outside trainers have the OPORTUNITY to exploit it . Read what I wrote , not what you want to read into it . By the way , our testing procedures should be what all other states and NZ should be doing . Leave my reputation out of it .

Hi Leigh , never said they were . You know as much as me . What I said was they has an opportunity to exploit it where the NSW trainers are tested week in week out and tested for everything that is possible to test for at this stage .

Maybe this just balances out the years when NSW players could pay a steward not to be tested ;)

I think it's fair to say Kevin, that out of that disgraceful set of events, NSW is , as Trish indicated setting higher than previously seen standards and they are in fact IMO leading the way for other jurisdictions to follow.

Call me an idiot if you like but that was how I read the thrust of Trish's other posts on this thread...not that people coming into NSW were some how "rorting"anything, but in fact quite the opposite.

I'm sure Tee Cee will clear this up when he gets back from long service leave.

Cheers,
Dan
