Are we going to see a flurry of positives?

Nowadays it is bloody hard to defend the racing industry - may as well just stick to barracking for the Bombers OOPS

Seems there has been 6 positives to this in Nsw harness although non yet in Gallops.
Seems like it is the same as Epo and can cause a horse to collapse and even die.Can be administered by needle or tablet.
Dare say we need to wait and to see the outcome.

Gallops no positives because they once again behind the eight ball.

That is the story that led the back page of The Age this morning. It is very hard to follow as the first line says Racing authorities admit to not having the means to test for it and then in the middle of the story it says 'Bailey said Racing Victoria had been warned a year ago about the effects of cobalt chloride, and that he instructed his panel to test extensively over the spring carnival. He said no high readings have been discovered.'

Sweeping statement Barney, anything to back it up or are you insinuating that it is being kept quiet?

Cant see anything to suggest that i think its been hushed up.I havent seen any mention in stewards wrap of positives to this so may have been kept quiet i have no idea.
