No official confirmation has there, though I may have missed it? Yes, where did you see that or is it gossip?

Colgan & Weatherley

Another two licence holders reported with drug positives but that also seem to have evaporated with no official confirmation even though again, the subjects themselves allegedly confirm it. How can this be?

There were only 6 races last year weren't there? Cf. 9 in 2026. So slightly smaller this year?

It's interesting if you look at the Ellerslie figures above, turnover is well up but turnover per starter well down. Oncourse also down. Not sure what to make of that.

Yes and I suppose it also depends what you mean by "quality of the racing". Best horses, fuller fields, more competitive?

Yes. Quite right. Prohibited from driving too, so probably not a good idea for riders.

Your logic. If for medical reasons it would be to make them fit (or more fit) to ride wouldn't it?

Oh I see how you are reading that now but you are right. Some have.

Did I say any had been?

Do you think these will get spirited away too?

Dismissal: On September 8, 2015, the Judicial Control Authority (JCA) dismissed the serious racing offence charges, labeling the evidence "bordering on the hopeless".

Who else has tried it?

There are some individuals that are active participants in the industry that constantly make degrading and abusive comments" You keep saying this but where's the evidence? @Chief Stipe you say you hide them, presumably because they are that in your opinion. And @hesi, if you "draw a line". Where? And how do you action or enforce it? Otherwise, it's just a further meaningless waste of time.
