Forget Speed/Form Ratings, HRB, Inform etc the best system ever is.....

I do not know the veterinary technicality's but besides affecting the betting publics wealth running while doped must also be dangerous Re the Horses health and if not part of the plan then also the riders safety especially so when jumping fences is involved.
 
Ah, with you all now,
'Sure, the horse is a bit tranquilised, but there's only a dozen fences to jump so you'll be fine....' and for that they get a handful of tenners for a riding fee. Who'd be a jockey riding for people like that?

Damned if I'd have a horse with that yard - running a racehorse is expensive enough without rubbish like that going on.

Noticed same trainer had a horse his son allegedly performed a flying dismount off, must have thought he was in the winners enclosure rather than just clearing the last. Shame because the guy can train had a very nice record with horses at Cheltenham.
On the subject of horses running tranquilized John Gosden had another one recently sure that’s not the first time, nice to see the authorities dealt with it seriously and fined him nearly the price of a years Racing Posts, that will teach him.
