The HRNSW Retention Facility
Harness Racing New South Wales again proved that they are the leaders in integrity with the collection of 87 samples, both post and pre race, from Saturday night’s Miracle Mile meeting.
In addition, all horses engaged in the Coca Cola and Cordina Sprint qualifiers were housed in the HRNSW Retention Facility one day prior to the respective events. All horses drawn to run in the Miracle Mile were on site two days prior to the meeting.
HRNSW Veterinary Surgeon Martin Wainscott said that although it was busy night everything ran smoothly.
“All the trainers were most co operative,” he said.
“The positive feedback regarding NSW increasing integrity is great for the industry. Everyone wants a level playing field.”
A number of the samples from Saturday night will be sent to overseas laboratories for further testing including those horses engaged in the SEW Eurodrive Miracle Mile.
“As the regulator HRNSW must ensure that all stakeholders are given the opportunity of competing on equal terms,” said HRNSW CEO John Dumesny.
Harness Racing NSW (HRNSW) is the controlling body for harness racing in New South Wales with responsibility for commercial and regulatory management of the industry including 31 racing clubs across the State. HRNSW is headed by an industry-appointed Board of Directors and is independent of Government.
