I have two more questions. Can the HRI confirm that all gallop fees in the past 12 months have been properly accounted for? The second question is to Dr. Hillyer. Prior to arrangements being made for the IHRB to visit non-licensed yards, was it aware that some trainers - this information was given to me anonymously - were moving horses to non-licensed yards where they may have been getting drug treatment? Was the IHRB aware of this abuse and does it concentrate its efforts on trainers engaged in this practice?
