29 pre-race blood samples taken at Caulfield sat. linghi11, bi-carb only? or do they go deeper ?

Bicarb only Carioca, they tick the TCO2 box, they occasionally do a pre race urine if there have been recent anomalies with the horse or trainer.

Race 8 KENNEDY OAKS - GROUP 1 - 2500 metres:

Vieste Underwent a veterinary examination upon arrival, having raced on Saturday 4 November 2023, and was found to be lame in the off foreleg. Late scratching at 3.04 pm on veterinary advice. A veterinary certificate will be required prior to racing again. Trainer Benjamin Smith pleaded guilty under the provisions of AR228(b) for improper conduct in relation to the language he directed at Stewards at the conclusion of the inquiry into the withdrawal of Vieste. Benjamin Smith was fined $1000. An inquiry into the conduct of Mr T. Lavalle, part‑owner of Vieste, was adjourned to a time and date to be fixed.

Trainer Ben Smith outed for 4-1/2 years

By AAP
Jun 12th, 2019

Trainer Ben Smith has been outed for 4-1/2 years after being found guilty of cobalt and conduct charges.

The Group One winning trainer was convicted of a raft of charges emanating from a raid on his Newcastle stable in September last year.

The charges against him included race day treatments, elevated cobalt levels in two horses, giving false evidence and refusing to give evidence.

Smith was disqualified for a total of seven years with Racing NSW stewards determining commonality between some of the charges and making the penalties concurrent, reducing his sentence to four years and six months.

Smith's sentence begins on September 18, 2018, the day he was stood down and expires on March 18, 2023.

In the autumn of 2018, Smith celebrated Group One wins by In Her Time and El Dorado Dreaming.

He did not mind stepping them up in grade. This Melbourne sojourn seems to be some sort of working holiday.

In Her Time went from her debut maiden win to the Tea Rose Stakes.

The horse's sole victory.

As the Beatles wrote and Ringo sang: "I get by with a little help from my friends".

ps after it was released in the United States, Maryland Governor and future Vice President Spiro T Agnew lobbied to have the song banned because he believed it was about drug use.  Wink

Ben seems to be a common name around stewards, they keep them busy.

His dad has been a journeyman stablehand in Sydney for over 25 years, working for trainers such as Bill Mitchell, Gai Waterhouse, Bart Cummings and Annabel Neesham. Was close mates with Luke Griffiths.
