i think the turf clubs hands may have been tied on this issue since the charges relates to "posession"............im sure they have been testing horses from his yard on a regular basis over the last two years and if all were negative, what could they do?
this is a very interesting case. the irish racing scene is very cosy indeed.............the godolphin trainer was hung and drawn as a villain in the UK by the UK media.............i ask you how will our media treat good old philip here? will o leary take out teh horses? will our racing journos write some nasty articles about him? dont hold your breath.

philip is such a nice guy..............i hope nothing comes of it..............hes a grand lad..............we dont want to rock the boat here in ireland now do we..............we let the bankers off, the politicians...............now let the trainer alone here. everything will be grand!

Sry that should read Last Installment.

A short price on there being good ground on the Friday so (weather permitting).
Anything but last Installment will be the course attitude.

A pity the martyr's horse doesn't run though,I am not a religious man but the parable of the rich man overtly making the church donation also springs to mind -The OC prize money has been mentioned once or twice this year.
