Racing Victoria stewards are looking into findings in test samples from horses trained by Clinton McDonald and Luke Oliver.

A pre-race blood test on McDonalds horse Flying On A Limb, which didn’t perform well at Flemington in April, showed the presence of triamcinolone acetonide, an inflammatory drug that is not allowed on race days.

Oliver’s filly Hey Bella tested positive for dexamethasone in a post-race urine sample after winning a race at Cranbourne in April.

Dexamethasone is used to treat allergies and inflammatory conditions and is prohibited during races.

Further tests confirmed the results.

Although no formal charges have been brought forth, stewards are actively investigating the matter and have informed both trainers that it is still under scrutiny.
