Almost forces all travelling trainers to have to stay in Sydney and travel home the next day.

Im all for drugs getting out of the sport just not at the expense of the country/travelling trainers and those with other commitments
Like me when I had to drive 3 hours to Poconos, to get there 4 hours before the race for lasix, the horse won and we get the 2 hour post race as well? Then the 3 hour drive back? Hahahaha!
