How many of those winners are tested and what laboratory is used? Is it the same lab used by HRI? The next question is about prize money. It was said France was contributing to prize money, but how much money is paid out for those 330 races? The opening statement mentioned the horse and greyhound fund, which is divided 80:20 between horse racing and greyhound racing. Is the IHRA lobbying to get a percentage of that fund or what is their view of that Exchequer funding for the other two sports?
