Governance Issues: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (Resumed)

Dr. Lynn Hillyer:
Overall, but several horses get sampled more than once. It is basically done on a risk basis as well. Again, we try not to just pick it on the numbers. We try to assess the risk in each individual horse's circumstance. The really important point is to make sure we take sufficient samples off the racetrack. Keeping that percentage of out-of-competition samples up is one of my priorities.
