Why is it only jockeys and trackriders get drug tested? Shouldn't trainers, stablehands and strappers also be included? I mean we are the ones handling the horses regularly whether it at home, track or races. We pre-race horses maybe trainer n strapper should also. 🤷♀️
@RealJesseDart@ozrace Racing authorities want to uphold the welfare standards & ensure appropiate treatment of horses across the industry, then isn't giving drugs welfare concerns? Then why are not more people being disqualified instead of just receiving fines or worse, being swept under the carpet?

I dont think we should have the Quokka on the same day as the Karrakatta. Seems like all the emphasis is on the the $5 mil race and the 2yo olds have lost the prestiage.
