Swab procedures

[Rockit]

If bloods or hair samples are taken off dogs at a race meeting,  should this be recorded in a stipe report? 

[Sickof it]

No mention of blood tests from Friday night.?

Addington seems to be in general the only track to have syringes for taking blood swabs.

You see blood tests coming from there rather regularly. Any other track & it's quite rare.

I reckon any time a dog is called for a swab & it fails to provide a sample, or there's a question as to who came into contact with the dog after a race, then the answer to those instances should be an immediate blood swab. We've all seen the "failed to void" pop up every now & then, so why does it end there? Blood and/or hair are other options!

Happy owner/connections after the big race already know how to avoid the normal swab procedure by making excessive contact with there charge at the podium. It's been documented more than once.

Then obviously you must be some kind of Bredon Cole look-a-like. lol

You'd be surprised how a gold necklace & cowboy hat can ensures favouritism.
