New Specimen Process For Carbon Dioxide Testing On Raceday

Hello Rian, trust all is well in the Republic of Cape Town I remember Sir MdK with his special feeds, think it was with Epol.

Our American contributor insists co2 testing has been around for ages, SA last again !

I would assume these co2 testers on racedays with instant readings would be similar to breathalyzer units where calibration would be challenged and argued, hence the away and 3rd sample. Oh my, imagine if those come back negative !

More worrying for exotic punters; a Peter horse, a banker in Race 5 onwards, is selected for testing and then scratched.

LoL, Frankie mentioned in running betting, soon we'll be allowed to alter our Pick 6s and JPs if our selections are scratched thru NO fault of us paying punters

Take care Rian, we look fwd to our Winter season, fresher sea air and not as polluted as the Highveldt 🙂

Betula Backers Get Short End Of The Stick

The starter is to blame for this one and surely the stipes should use something which is extremely rare in racing these days and thats COMMON SENSE...The punter was on a hiding to nothing he never had a chance of getting a run for his money as the rider was off the horse before the pens opened

Hey Cecil
You spot on about the gold droppings as lots of trainers would love to know what the Peters are feeding
Always been about the feeds
Even the mighty MDK had his own feed ,big news those days
Maybe our Ed could pull out a SP on his feed success
If this co2 test has been around for ages, was it effective and what's the

I couldn't agree more. It's so painful to read what I think are his endless complaints so I now just scroll passed the endless ramble.

I was in big business for many years and I've learned smart people want people to understand them.

But here's the SP again on this topic. The Rules are open to the public now, start a petition and sway the Regulator.

Use your powerful position as the only real publication in racing and get SA to change it's Rules from the international

Surely the starter saw Betula rearing. He could have delayed letting the field jump. Perhaps the Stipes should look into the starters actions and amend the RandR's

I rather have Tony Peter winning than some other trainers having 5 or 6 horses in a race; winning with the unfancied but yet in the post race interview conceding that there was improvement in work or change of riding tactics. Who is privy to this information or making money of it? Certainly not the general public. (Saying that every one of your 6 horses could win is not a betting strategy or tip). I understand this is doping or technically cheating but there is an element of dishonesty about it. Also, horses are primed to win on big races; so are they running to form or their rating in the races building up to the features? No accusations here, just my humble opinion and

Frankie Zackey... Joao these are not cheap animals that the Powerful Peter Stable are now fortunate to be training,, they are proper beautifully well put together bred horse's that Tony's been given to train form the beautiful Viljoen family... Again I'll say that horse's become numbers in certain stables,, if they don't show early ability or have slight issues and are not really performing to the trainers expectations,,then they need to move on brother so the next batch can move.. Boet this has become a huge business for certain trainers,, you should know that

Frankie Zackey...There's nothing more sickening in horseracing than to see punters doing their hard earned money in cold blood...It will be interesting to see if they drop Betula's MR after declaring her a

Seems like there is still a drive against anyone who succeeds in improving a horse from the bull and ape, makes me wonder what about the trainers that have yards in multi provinces and their runners improve on relocating to KZN or TVL. Are they up to no good in the new venues only. Take off the blinkers manne. There are a multitude of stables that go through barren periods and all of a sudden hit form- Tarry, Laird and Dekock all superb trainers who hit lows and bounce back are they to be targeted? Sorry Corne you had a few winners in Durban the other day, a deserved return to form for a hard-working trainer - you better get ready to be targeted or is there only one target in mind Mr

Most of us used to scratch our heads at the high and sometimes complicated English...when there are more than ample straightforward and easily understandable words and phrases available....used by the late Jay August but he now seems to have a successor in Chris Swart....not everybody on this platform is so well versed and highly educated that they dont have to refer to dictionaries to understand the elaborate lingo used to explain a matter that can actually be set out in plain good and proper English rather than the BIG stuff which isnt used by any of us in our daily business....this isnt a linguistic competition ...just say it as it is
