With regard to the pre-race testing, I presume all samples go to a laboratory and there is no on-the-spot testing, litmus paper testing or anything. If a pre-race test is done, the horse still goes on and runs anyway. Is there a waiting time to get the result or does IHRB have the facilities to produce an on-the-spot indication? I remember, from science in school, that a litmus paper test will produce a result there and then.
