Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 21, 2018 Journalists Share Posted December 21, 2018 The Joseph O’Brien-trained Pedisnap (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}) has been disqualified from a win at Gowran Park in August after returning a high level of cobalt in a post-race sample, according to Racing Post. Jumps trainer Mikey O’Connor also had a runner disqualified due to cobalt, bringing the number of such offences in Ireland this year to four. It was decided that Pedisnap’s elevated reading was due to exposure to a ‘salt lick’, and O’Brien’s €1,000 fine was waived. In the case of O’Connor’s horse, he was injected with a B12 supplement containing cobalt on raceday, but the trainer avoided suspension due to the fact officials were not satisfied that he was personally responsible. He was fined €1,000. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
