Alleged Issues in the Horse Racing Industry: Discussion
Dr. Lynn Hillyer:
I do stand over it because, as I stated, it is about the quality and nature of sampling, not just the numbers. It is about the two together. In the case of our nearest neighbours, approximately 10% of horses that run are sampled. We are running at the same percentage. We have a greater percentage in terms of out-of-competition testing. We have just discussed the importance of such testing and that is a direction we will maintain.
