Thoroughbred Stewards Inquiry Trainer Mr Stephen Rowe
RWWA Stewards have been advised by the ChemCentre in Perth, that Flunixin has been detected in the blood sample taken from PICASSO BAY at Pinjarra on 2 January, 2019 where it competed in and won Race 5.
Flunixin is classed as a therapeutic, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
These findings have been verified by the Australian Racing Forensic Laboratory (ARFL – NSW)
Accordingly Stewards will conduct an inquiry into this report on a date to be confirmed at which Mr Rowe will be directed to attend.
