Fine Only For Healesville Greyhounds Positive Swab To Ketoprofen
Following advice from the Racing Analytical Services Laboratory, the Stewards of Greyhound Racing Victoria conducted an investigation into the results of a post-race urine sample taken from the greyhound Blue Aura at the Healesville Greyhound Racing Club meeting on the 29 April 2012.
During the investigation, Stewards heard evidence from registered Trainer Mr. Glen Burton and received written statements from Dr. John Vine (Racing Analytical Services Laboratory) and Dr. Alastair Smith (Sandown Veterinary Clinic).
After considering the evidence, Stewards charged Mr. Burton with breach of GAR83 (2) and (3) in that he did fail to present the greyhound Blue Aura free of any prohibited substance for an event at the Healesville Greyhound Racing Club meeting on the 29 April 2012, given the post-race urine sample taken from the greyhound indicated the presence of the prohibited substance Ketoprofen.
