The trainer's name has been revealed in some media. Interesting to note that the chief steward Terry Bailey has said that the secret to the success of the new testing kit was in the timing. I take that to mean that it is no good waiting until the horses are presented at the races. I understand that many more horses have been tested at other training establishments. Follow story here.
