Our beloved Shark billycart is no more.  The device that once nearly sent our Brasilian exchange student Ciao to an early grave at a Red Bull Billycart event in Melbourne has now gone to its own resting place out at Rentsch's.  Now, if we want to enter an exchange student in any similar event in the future, they are going to have to pilot the Bonomatic 2000.  Rest in peace Sharky, I hope you don't come back as a Volvo.

 

 

This week Robbo sends us the very exciting news that Racing Victoria has waved the white flag and conceded that trainers did not administer Formestane to horses in 2023.  This is great news for our friends at Wilde Racing and vindicates their position that they did not administer Formestane to Sirileo Miss.  It also supports our suspicions that these were false positive tests recorded in one laboratory over a very short time period on a series of unrelated horses trained by different trainers on two continents.  

 

Now the big question Robbo is quite rightly asking is whether we could possibly lay claim to the hundreds of thousands of dollars prize money denied to us by the positive test on Sirileo Miss.  If only we knew a good lawyer...
