Just wondering what has happened to them.Havent had horses nominated for awhile now and havent seen Col around.I know they were due to go to court re Cobalt chloride but cant find any details anywhere.
Do any of you guys know whats happening as he is a nice bloke.
Answering my own question lost the court case and now will have to front the stewards re cobalt chloride.The national body have agreed on a standard reading so will be in effect nationwide About time.
Hi Brian.
In my opinion I believe the threshold is WAY TO HIGH as I think it only encourages people to use it and I think it should be given the same scrutiny as steroids in that the level should never be exceeded in the horses life. Horses should able to be tested 24/7 for anything.
One question I have is , " are horses tested upon their arrival into the retention barn ?" & if not they bloody well should be.
maybe you can answer that Adam..................thanks.

No surprises from my perspective, not happy seeing people rubbed out but happy to see measures to maintain integrity successfully defended,
The World is a funny place. I trust that the ironic undertones of the defence was not lost on those assembled.
Credit where credit is due. HRNSW must be given a huge pat on the back of the work done to win this court case. If they had lost who knows where trotting would have ended up.
Not just Harness Toni, would most likely have had huge ramifications for the Gallops and just about every other sport that is trying to implement control measures.Originally Posted by Race For Fun

This is from the Harnesslink web site.
I haven't read the entire Supreme Court finding and some will most likely go over my head but I don't understand how anyone would have thought challenging HRNSW's right to implement local rules would fly.
