    • i posted about what i had read about xenon on a topic on this forum 5 years ago. Russian athletes were using it about 15 years ago. tests on rats had shown a 70% xenon 30% oxygen mix doubled epo levels a day later. A quote from HRNZ at the time  " international racing laboratories(including nz)are acutely aware of the potential threat that this type of substance could pose to the integrity of racing" But i'm not going to get into an on going  argument with you about its performance enhancing effects. besides reading the facebook page of the nairn lady, about what she found with arcano is  consistent with uncaring or desperate  treatment of a horse. yes i know you thought having 3 horses from the same stable suffer heart issues and drop dead at the racetrack. I didn't. You don't find something your not looking for. when i said earlier it was over 1 year,to be accurate the 3 horses from that stable died within 4 months.  yes i know you keep saying you think all drugs are detectable.you always say that.I really don't know whether you actually believe that,as i think its  obviously wrong. again everyone knows if your using a test thats not designed to pick up  certain performance enhancers  or all the derivatives of certain performance enhancers,well you won't get any positives. Thats what they said happened in the usa. i've tried to keep my reply brief as this topic is about animal welfare and i also don't want to go over things we've already discussed at length in the past.
    • Sorry I have to dispute your findings. Formalin is simply a 40% solution of formaldehyde in water; it is not a derivative in any way.  A derivative would mean it had to be chemically different and therefore have different chemical and physical properties. ChatGPT and anyone with training in chemical science, which Becks Nairn is not, would know this.  That she cannot differentiate this casts a dispersion over her credibility to comment on the matters she does A derivative in chemistry means: A compound that is chemically related to another (the “parent compound”) but has been modified by replacing, adding, or changing part of it. The new compound usually retains some structural features of the parent but is not the same substance. For example: Benzene → Nitrobenzene (a derivative formed by adding a –NO₂ group). Ethanol → Ethanoic acid (acetic acid) (a derivative through oxidation). So in your earlier question: Formalin is not a derivative of formaldehyde, because it’s not a new compound — it’s just formaldehyde dissolved in water (a solution).  
    • Race 4 ENTAIN/NZB INSURANCE PEARL SERIES F&M MAIDEN 1200m BEABOPALULA (R Goyaram) – Trainer Mr. A Forsman reported to Stewards, although satisfied with the post-race condition of BEABOPALULA, puts the disappointing performance down to the filly being unsuited to the Heavy 8 track conditions. A Forsman advised it is his intention to continue on with the filly’s current preparation. The post Egmont Racing Club @ Hawera, Saturday 23 August 2025 appeared first on Racing Integrity Board.
