To summarize
Neil Day got 4yrs
Dean McDowell got 4½yrs
and both face a fresh charge for not attending

There is really no penalty in the Dean Mcdowell situation as his father has taken over training the team same horses still racing

There is nothing you can do about that Brian. Dean would not be allowed to set foot on the premises, he has been punished and you would think that his family and others would have to have learnt what is expected in future.

Yes realise that and know Col he had a cc reading on one of his horses of 200 so so close to being over wasnt funny.I know now it will be tough on the family but horses they have are all owned by Cols company Allied express so hard to believe they wouldnt have known what was going on as Col drove them as well in most cases.
Both the horses are in on Tuesday at Menangle.

Don't worry, I hear what you are saying Brian. Reading the linked article, it would seem there is a chance that the limit could go down to 100. Embarrassing to think that Australian horses were left out of the testing as they fear too many of ours would be tainted. The heading of the article in my copy of The Age is actually 'Australia gets Cobalt pass' which is very ambiguous and could be read as a good thing

It's relieving to know after reading that link Kevin that at least Australian Horse sports are seen as being at the "leading edge" to the point we cannot be included in a study on illegal drugs so as not to misrepresent the conclusions that study might find........and there are STILL some people trying to pretend this evil substance is "nothing"

The horse Glenthorne subsequently lost his win in the final too as he has now been disqualified in the heat thanks to the positive (and therefore did not belong in the final)

What about the track record he set later that month? Should that be erased from the books?

Very good question Kev, whilst at first glance one would say yes, if the horse didn't have a positive then that leaves things more open, Remember Lance!!
