Not sure at this stage TeeAitch.. maybe Mal or Bayman could shed some light on this... BUT given the stewards have asked it not be named - we probably should be careful here...

I will ask - given there has been 3 drivers in 12 months testing positive to drugs..........
IS THERE A STUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEM IN SA HARNESS RACING???

Given the amount of money wagered on horses and the number of positive drug tests in a 12 month period (given a small driver pool).... should these "suspended" sentances be acceptable to the punters or more importantly other trainers / drivers and to a lesser extent owners??
