In the past, that has been the normal procedure. What was different this time was the positive swab wasn't a permanently banned substance. With the O'Regan Cobalt positive swab, which they didn't charge them for, the swab was taken pre-race on 25 Aug 2022 & the RIB turned up unannounced at their kennels to investigate on 20 Sept 2022, or 26 days after the swab was taken. https://racingintegrityboard.org.nz/decisions/non-raceday-inquiry-reserved-penalty-decision-dated-23-december-2022-ronald-oregan-and-nyomi-oregan/ The first Pringle positive swab was taken on 28 Jan 2024. Then the dog raced & again tested positive on 15 Feb 2024, or 18 days after the first swab was taken. Pringle was first made aware on 20 Feb 2024, or 23 days after the first swab was taken. https://racingintegrityboard.org.nz/decisions/non-raceday-inquiry-written-decision-dated-17-july-2024-robert-pringle/ Pringle was first made aware 3 days sooner than O'Regan.

Don’t worry Chief, the smart people here understand this common cultural meme and if not, they know how to use Google to educate themselves so they don’t make dim comments. You scribbling with your crayons seems perfectly apt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You scribbling with your crayons seems perfectly apt. You should try Google although it does require a bit of intelligence to not fall down some rabbit hole. So I'll save you the time. The Cobalt levels recorded will have had no deleterious effect on the dog. It may have even made the dog feel better. SUNT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
