I wonder what is "up" with the Greef yard. They have had over 40 runners without a winner. Simply unheard of!!! You could see a long way out that many of his fancied runners were in trouble. A good example is the ultra consistent Three Rocks. Not even a place. Nearer last than first. I was amazed when she was priced up at 3 to

Mrs G has pulled "distressed" in her last two starts. That is a worry but Sean Tarry is a top man, so must have things under

TCO2 Concerns – NHA Reaffirms Confidence In Testing Procedure
The NHA seem to be oblivious to the chaos that they have caused and are ignoring the fact that they are questioning the integrity of the trainers of the horses that have been withdrawn. This is like a science fiction movie and on a very serious note this simply cannot be allowed to happen. It is very hard to believe that they have given the racing fraternity that actually make the world of racing happen , the finger. A small group of individuals with too much power ruining things for so many. A very, very dangerous

TCO2 Concerns – NHA Reaffirms Confidence In Testing Procedure
These guys are bullies, i am totally shocked, it is not worth punting on exotics. Punters must boycott these bets and let them live their lives, lets see how much longer this industry would last, not more than a year if punters just quit exotic bets. As for new owners, one would be out of their mind to buy a horse, imagine the investment and the fees paid for one whole year, then your horse is due to run and its scratched, nope not worth

TCO2 Testing – SA Racing’s Road To Damascus Moment
Most interesting indeed.
One would be forgiven for thinking that TCO2 testing was discovered by the NHA of SA and is chartering new territory .
The NHA has adopted this measure, and the irony is that they they are now milkshaking punters in particular and the sport in general with their perceptions and beliefs regarding this controversial issue/s.
1.There exists a lack of certainty as to what constitutes milkshaking IE are every and any TCO2 test definitive and absolute in determining if cheating is or is not present ?
2.Are the time frames adopted by NHA before , between and after tests an acceptable standard...globally ? How have they refined 36 mmol as an exact science ?
3.Once their own guidelines have been followed in arriving at a scratching. does the NHA stand by and show confidence in their system by instituting punitive measures against the accountable persons ? Do blood tests accompany any further investigations regarding a scratched runner, particularly in determining if/what / how much has been administered or not ?
If the NHA unpack this issue as per my three questions above, everyone would be better off

TCO2 Concerns – NHA Reaffirms Confidence In Testing Procedure
The Canadians actually have a rule (rule 37.01) whereby a licencee (owner or trainer) can appeal a tco2 fine, on the premise that a horse has naturally high tco2 levels.
The horse is then placed in a guarded quarantine facility, allowed to excercise, and is fed only oats, hay and water (all at the sole expense of the licensee).
During the quarantine period the horse is then periodically tested for tco2 levels.
The internet article which I read is dated August '23, so the rule should still be in place.
Interesting.

So we must believe these people at the NHA who obviously did not read the article or take opinion from the well renowned vet who wrote eloquently on the SPorting Post site.They are not listening to trainers with 40 years plus experience in the game and bury their heads in the sand and say stuff 99% of racing

How do you address the following:
1. Exotic bets - horses are only tested on arrival at the races. Punters have been "ripped off" in recent weeks.
2. What is the operators stance on the punter " Rip Off" due to TC02 testing regarding exotic bets like the Pick6 & Jackpot. They can no long standby and watch how the punter gets
