A post-race sample taken from Arbitration was found to contain a metabolite dantrolene, a muscle relaxant commonly used in racing for horses who experience muscle cramps, known as tying up. The filly was disqualified from a race at Musselburgh last year for testing positive for a prohibited substance.

Investigating officers visited Mr Burke's yard last August. A medication review detailed there was no record of dantrolene being administered and that the unnamed filly's vet records did not show she'd been prescribed the drug at the time.

The report concluded there were "substantial amounts of medication, about 500 doses, unaccounted for at the yard" highlighting the "inadequate medication control at the time".

Tell them that they belonged to his Father-in-law.

That will, surely, explain everything.

Who's his father-in-law 'onlooker'?
I wonder what's happened to the unaccounted 500 doses. If only dna / drug tracing could be done on "winning" horses many months post the races.
