A close [ trainer] acquaintance of mine was given the 'white paper' and told to present to produce a sample. He did the bolt, and was suspended immediately, pending a sample being produced for testing. He refused, and was disqualified. Still is, eight years later. One's licence is contingent on presenting for drug testing when required. The way I read it, is there are no mitigating circumstances.

So do you, you're the admin. Your personal jibes and derogatory comments, such as 'low achievers' is classic Molloy. You can do better.

I dont know any Marsh. I know who S Marsh is, but I've never met the guy.

Maybe put the Guineas on the Dunedin card, and make the open 2200 part of the southern handicap series....not Southland but closest,, and the Southland and Dunedin Guineas can follow on without disruption. Up to NZTR anyway, so no doubt we'll see in due course

Wonderful horses, both of them. A privilege to watch them. Lucky Sweynesse not disgraced either, he's such a genuine performer....and very little evidence ( that I could determine) that any of them had the stick applied.

Have to agree with that summation. I think she's awful anyway, did feel she had improved but changed my mind very quickly.

Yes.

No. Not at all. No untoward comments this morning, all riders present seemed happy with the day.

Good comments, I'd have to say you can give him a swish if he irritates you, but he doesn't take offence. And yes, wishing all contributors good fortune and good health going forward.

Noms were left open until 9 this morning, withdrawals at ten. To give them time to decide.

No.

How do you know they don't?

Canterbury clubs pushed back against the placement of yesterday's Ashburton races but to no avail.

Complaining achieves nothing.

Probably for three months
