Paul Daly: As Dr. Hillyer said, there are then the boots on the ground. Regarding out-of-competition testing and calling into stable yards, I have heard of instances where there have been inspections in stable yards with a couple of vet's assistants present and no samples have been taken. What would that cost approximately, per annum or per visit? What are they looking for if they do not take samples?

Paul Daly: I have heard of out-of-competition checks in yards where no sampling was done. What were they looking for when they went in initially, at that expense?

Basically, what I am asking is if you are getting value for money here.
