TCO2 Testing on Hollywoodsbets July day 2024

Will testing be done?
Will it be on all horses?
Will it be on all 12 races?
What avenue of communication to punters on late scratchings, specifically short priced runners?
Will races be delayed for 15 minutes to allow new bets to be restructured?
Are bookies going to be inventive in favour of the punters if TCO2 scratching do occur?

Or will we have another shit show!!!!
 

Odds-on it will be the shit-show 

Well done to all involved at the July meeting. No failed tests. Not what i was expecting

did they actually  TEST   ?   I think NOT !

Also think no tests. It is so unlikely that normal meetings bring up so many scratches, but suddenly this main meeting has zero.

All 3 of our runners were tested and when going around to check on our runners,  I saw plenty being tested. They are tested right near the parade ring so everyone there would have seen the testing being done.

I watched majority of the meeting and can't recall commentators saying all clear for TC02 testing after the first couple of races. Either that or I had too much beer in me 😂 
 

Did they not raise the levels before the July?...I'm sure I saw that presser...that would account for no horses breaching the threshold...perhaps this level is the real benchmark reached by trial and error...the alternative is that substances or environmental/physiological issues were not present on this day....I think that the theory that nervous horses breach levels must now be moot as there were 40k people there(and an 80's blow out by Mango Groove) and very few horses running yesterday had ever experienced anything as affective as this big  noisy day...let's see what comes out in the wash or is swept under the carpet 

It's easy to calibrate the testing equipment.I for one found it strange that at this meeting there were NO TCO2 increased levels detected.Strange but true.

Stipes report shows tremendous amount of horses tested on Saturday.

Dazza it was mentioned by the commentator after race 1 or 2.......   but I don't believe he mentioned it again the REST OF THE MEETING.

They only can have UPPED  the TC02 LEVELS  for there to be   NIL  casualties on the day
