An oral dosing syringe is to be analysed after being found on the floor of a stable box at Kelso yesterday
There were troubling scenes at Kelso yesterday when a syringe, described as “an oral dosing syringe”, was found in one of the boxes in the racecourse stables. The trainer Keith Dalgleish tells me this morning that a member of his stable staff stepped on the syringe as she walked her horse into her allotted box before racing yesterday.

An enquiry was held following a report from the Veterinary Officer that an oral dosing syringe was found in stable 30. The Clerk of the Course, the Veterinary Officer, and an employee of Keith Dalgleish were interviewed. Having heard their evidence, the Stewards ordered that the syringe be sent for analysis and a report be sent to the Head Office of the British Horseracing Authority for further consideration.
