The Stewards have received confirmation from the Laboratoire des Courses Hippiques in Paris, France that the referee portion of the urine and blood samples taken from HARBOUR MASTER after that horse was successful in the Crooked Island Handicap run at Happy Valley Racecourse on Wednesday, 28 January 2015 were, upon analysis, both found to contain indometacin.
Mr J Moore, trainer of HARBOUR MASTER, has been notified of the independent laboratory's findings.
The inquiry into this matter remains adjourned to a date to be fixed whilst the Stewards in conjunction with the Department of Veterinary Regulation and Racing Laboratory continue their preliminary investigations into this matter.
