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.

TCO2 Testing – SA Racing’s Road To Damascus Moment
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?

Thanks for replying... so announcements were being made from the very beginning to the punting public on Raceday to inform them of the reason for scratchings as is being now done in all

It did start with no media release from the regulator.
But we ran a story in mid March, and it's stayed in the news ever since.
The information regarding testing is contained in the Stipes report of the day.
They have not published reading levels as this could be used to manipulate matters.
This was the first:

Hollywoodbets Durban July – Here’s The Class Of 2024!
Hi Mark trust you well.I have not backed Future Swing. I actually gave him no chance at all,unless Justin being the intellectual shrewdy he is, does a "Do It Again " on the betting popolus..A scratching is certainly not out of the cards and Hopefully your fancied horse Hluwehluwe will come in.I am sure Justin with his quarter dozen already has this in mind.My fancy for the big one is Cousin Casey big time into it and his only danger is the stable Future Pearl. I think Sean Tarry is a brilliant horseman and will genuinely bring out the best in his runners. I have no doubt I will get my monies worth following my gut but more importantly will be smiling all the way to the bank..all the best for next week's
