Keep doing the testing.
Publish the data in stipes report
But suspend Scratching's.
Build a dataset that can be used to set rules everyone can be held to account for.

.....publishing the data after the fact.....helps the punter not.....connections that know CO2 is elevated have got the best insider info around....and if horse is not the hyper type.... then it is an indication that it is fully tuned...punters would sooner call foul when the pattern of higher CO2 equates to better performance.....

Sylvester, but in the meantime the horses are being endlessly jabbed at race meetings making an already tense occasion more frightening……..rather use what they have now and try to work out what is causing the spikes.
Instead horses are being punished with the continual stress on race days. Trainers must be crazy if they giving any bicarbonate on race days

Maybe they are ??!! The new norm from the number of elevated readings of late??!!

Remember how many US athletes didn't test positive because the testing was always behind what they were using and when the testing kind of caught up, how many were found to have cheated over many years...

It seems that the elevated readings are in all centres so what is the common factor?
