in the first at doomben today a couple of topweights have been disqualified in recent starts. any idea what happened there.

I believe they tested positive for Steroids and the Trainer has been accordingly suspended.

yeah, positive swabs
3 horses, Royal Flag, Devastating & Art Success
trainer outed for 9 months
HPC - hydroxyprogesterone caproate in blood samples
trainer expected to appeal against the severity of the disqualification
