uncleremus 5 Report post Posted March 6, 2021 Vamos Bebe won the Hallmark sprint on Boxing Day at Ellerslie. Looking at the results now, she is shown as disqualified and the race winner is Vigor Winner. Anybody know why she was disqualified?

Gruff 2,778 Report post Posted March 7, 2021 Nothing to see here just absorbtion, didnt help those who lost plenty on Vigor winner but Sources close to the case have told the Herald the RIU does not believe Richards or any of his staff have been involved in any wrongdoing and the most likely source of the irregularity is cross-contamination, whether from a human handler, feed or absorption.

Archer 296 Report post Posted March 7, 2021 How come this is the first time that joe public got hear of it ? I see that a certain horse is paying a tad more than normal today, perhaps it couldn't spend time with the cows because of covid ...

JJ Flash 2,115 Report post Posted March 7, 2021 A hearing was held before the races. The outcome was that Vamos Bebe was disqualified of its win and Jamie Richards was fined $1,500. I also understand that the contaminated feed possibility was raised early in the investigation by the RIU. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer 296 Report post Posted March 7, 2021 Wow, hot fav paying $2 plus, guess that 1500 is gonna hit some pockets hard ... Of course you understand, that contaminated feed is ALWAYS the first defence (suggestion) of the evil ones ... fermoy and Huey 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobba 31 Report post Posted March 8, 2021 $1,500 ???? Going by past positive swabs $1500 appears a very light penalty. fermoy and Huey 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
