Drugs at picnice races.
What is wrong with this story?
The horse had not won for 4 years and now alledgely boosted up with drugs wins, but what the trainer had more than likely done is prepare the horse
the fittest it has ever been for years, he thinks a "boost" will win the race, where in fact he put in a sound fitness program and would of won the race
WITH DRUGS.
When I won many successful big plunges back in the last 70's with my dogs, when I decided to set a dog for a plunge, in the 4 weeks
leading up to the race, I trained the dog up to peak in 100% fitness levels on the day.
Drugs don't work, because you see many trainers outed for drugging thier horse when in it ran unplaced.
The trained did not how to peak it in 100% fitness for that race and they did not get the money.
At least have your horse 100% fit and money on, if you are dumb enough to use drugs.
DRUGS DON'T WORK.

Rich picnic meeting winner tests positive
SYDNEY, Jan 16 AAP - An inquiry into a positive swab returned by the winner of the feature race on one of Australia's richest days of picnic racing will be held on Monday.
Trainer
William Slater will face Racing NSW stewards after
Color Purple tested positive to lignocaine after winning the $15,000 Fernhill Picnic Cup in October.
An eight-year-old,
Color Purple's victory was his first for Slater and it ended a winless streak of almost four years for the gelding.
The Fernhill Picnic Cup was first run in 2013 when a sprawling property on the western outskirts of Sydney was granted a licence to use a purpose-built racetrack for picnic racing.
Backed by Fernhill Estate's wealthy owners Simon and Brenda Tripp, the meeting is run under the control of the
Hawkesbury Race Club.
And despite its short history, the meeting attracts thousands of racegoers as well as owners, trainers and jockeys who are regulars on the NSW picnic racing circuit.
Leading trainer
Clarry Conners was hit with a $10,000 fine when a horse he trains for John Singleton tested positive to lignocaine after winning at
Canterbury in September.
Lignocaine is described as a local anaesthetic which can have an effect on the nervous and cardiovascular system.
