That is very desirable but the explanation does not answer my question. How come Bord na gCon has not dealt with this huge hiatus or gap that exists? Athletes expect to be tested during their training session. I imagine that the same should apply to animals that will contest races. The public will bet on them and there will be prize money. If there is no testing during the period in which the animal trains then there is no off-track testing, effectively. That means that we just do not know what type of animal is coming into the kennels for racing. When does Bord na gCon expect to deal with the matter?
