FOLLOWING Harness Racing New South Wales’ endless commitment to fight against the use of illegal and banned substances, more than 40 out-of-competition swab samples have been collected over the past two days.
These samples were taken from horses that are competing at Tabcorp Park Menangle this Saturday night.
This strategy follows tests obtained from horses that were engaged at Penrith last Thursday week and also Tabcorp Park Menangle last Saturday night and HRNSW Integrity Officers will continue collecting more samples according to Chairman of Stewards Graham Loch.
“This strategy will be continued in coming weeks as feature meetings and Carnival of Cups race meetings wind up,” Loch said.
“In addition, whilst our recent focus has been close to Sydney similar visits are planned across the state.”
