I welcome our guests. They are guests of ours and I think that is an important point to make. I thank them for coming to the meeting.

I have a number of questions that will come in a slightly disjointed way. I do not mean for them to be disjointed but they are observations I have noted. I found the IHRB's Integrity Racing Statistics 2019 an interesting document. Does such a document exist for 2020 and 2021 and if so, may we have a copy of them? They are IHRB documents.

The Equine Anti-Doping Report is a new departure for the IHRB. I think I read somewhere the intention is that those reports will be published quarterly. Would our guests like to comment on anything in that anti-doping report? Were there any statistics or concerns in that report that jumped off the page? I have read the document but I want to ask our guests if there is anything they would like to bring to the attention of the committee in that regard?
