Lizzie's horse fails dope test

[Desert Orchid]

Breaking news on BBC tickertape.

One of the queen's horses has failed a dope test. No further news yet.

 

[Miesque]

It's one of the ones affected by the morphine contaminated alfalfa feed

 

[Desert Orchid]

Some of my punts have been running as though on slower-uppers.

 

[Desert Orchid]

They've named the horse.

Estimate.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Ouch.

 

[Miesque]

DOdson and Horrell who supplied the contaminated feed are rather in hot water....they have a royal warrant currently, wonder how long that will last?

 

[Miesque]

Pretty much any horse fed Dodson and Horrell Alfalfa was contaminated, however D&H alfalfa isn't commonly fed with a market rival, Dengie, providing the vast majority of short chop alfalfa fed in the UK.

Thank goodness she didn't win - that would be a much bigger story .

 

[Singing Detective]

Eve Johnson Houghton has a horse that has tested positive which didn't use that particular brand

 

[Miesque]

She does however feed other D&H products.....feed processing plant contamination possibly?

Must be.
Processing of feed always a potential problem of contamination.
Missunited team double their money so no complaints from that quarter imo.
