Steven Hale, Fined $4500.

Well, 

Another one, it seems none of these trainers actually read what is in their horses food!!

Im sure they read use by dates on their food in the fridge, makes you wonder.

Colbalt in the feed.

He didn't read the ingredients.

I see, incredibly, he has only trained 31 winners in his time.

Surprisingly it even had stated in the ingredients of salt block that contained cobalt and the percentage as well.Hard to feel sorry for him with all the publicity last year or so about high readings in feed

Well that's just plain stupidity if it listed the ingredients, deserves a decent fine for that on its own.

It is a very interesting read.

Always wonder why they don't mention betting patterns on the race in question. If you were doping something to win and make money I would have thought the authorities would say something about abnormalities in the patterns if any.
