TCO2 Testing – SA Racing’s Road To Damascus Moment
Sorry to say -quite naive to infer that in form trainers must be up to something, it is always the case that stables go hot and cold, the reasons can be many. To correlate positive TCO's to anything is risky as the testing has been deemed flawed by jurisdictions who applied it way longer than the time the NHA have, so no value in whatever you may have determined. Did you believe the big "Pharma's as well that the vaccine would prevent covid spreading?
Next problem is that you fail to see the effect the flawed system has had on a trainer's reputation nor the cost to them and the owners- nothing more to say than be objective. Happy for L&O to be the winner - but they are a Law unto themselves. And no order will prevail if they cannot recognize the damage to us punters and owners & trainers they are causing, they are putting the foot on the gas when the majority of their customers are

So Mr. Ed are you saying if the test comes back 35 36 or what ever is a fail now and trainer says let me see the NHA says you must be joking.
Just trust us. You do trust us don't

Mr Ed, do your perhaps have the replay when Trademark won. I've searched YouTube but never found that video. I had the house on Celtic Grove but luckily covered with Double Reef as a swinger.

Steve, the Jhb scene is so much weaker on average,, most trainers would improve earnings of a runner when taking from Cpt. Just look at the runners going from Jhb to Cpt ,, they dive bombed LE.

You are spot one so whose going to be scratched on the big day
The gallops haven't helped this must be the most open July in years MR certainly looks the part without my beloved I'm going to be hoping around before the big one but as G H said if you fancy Richard then at the price Corne is a way better punt
I can tell you as it stands Justin is merely a participant he won't even beat Tony

Lest we forget.
In my oopinion, this whole debacle was caused by the arrogance of one Cape trainer who could not tolerate being shown up by a Johannesburg trainer who improved his chuck-outs spectacularly. This got people who really should should have known better to start a crusade. Taken from an article in the Citizen newspaper following last years Western Cape Racing and Breeding awards : "It turns out Bortz has been the driving force behind the National Horseracing Authority’s recent swoop on training yards to test medication regimes – and an in-depth investigation into possible systematic “doping” and a brand-new rule banning intra-articular injections for horses close to competition."
A regulatory body, supposedly the protectors of integrity in the racing industry, focused their entire might on the Johannesburg trainer and found nothing. Millions of industry money has been squandered in this holy quest to safeguard "clean" racing. Let's see how this ends up for the NHA. The smart money is on another humiliation for the bully boys.
It's deliciously ironic that since the introduction of TC02 testing. that the Cape trainer who caused all the trouble, has been found with the same amount of TC02 positives as the rogue Johannesburg trainer. Its also ironic that on a regional basis, the highest tally of elevated TC02 positives originate from the Western Cape.

Seems so.
It's clear from the stats that the number of positives are gaining momentum month on month, but that could be because the testing is more widespread.
If testing was consistent, one would like to believe that the deterrent value would see it taper off from April to

Hi George
We did ask to try and understand the rationale - it seems that it apparently could give any prospective wrongdoer a benchmark by which to operate.
So for example, when you get stopped at a roadblock and you read x (say 40% below limit), you know you had 1 beer and a fanta. So next time you can chance it with 2 beers and a fanta, and get away with it.
Bad example? Make sense?

100% correct. Cape form is so strong that one could send the Cape trainers' stable pony to Johannesburg and KZN and still win! Most "chuck-outs" from the Cape that go to Eastern Cape become champions
