The presence of Flunixin (Class 4) was disclosed upon analysis of a specimen taken from MIGHTY MAC after the running of Race 7, at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth Racecourse on 16 March 2024.
The Trainer responsible, Mr P D Reeves, elected to sign an Admission of Guilt and was fined an amount of R27 500.
MIGHTY MAC is accordingly disqualified from the race in terms of Rule 72.3.2.
This finding is recorded in the NHA Racing Calendar.
