Dalby trainer Gilbert Baker has been barred from racing for 12 months after a gelding he trained returned a positive urine test at Nanango Races in September.<\/p>\n

On Monday, racing stewards released the results of a hearing after a pre-race urine sample taken from Beautiful Love at Nanango’s Heritage meeting on September 16 showed the presence of cobalt above the allowable threshold.<\/p>\n

A second test on the sample also came back positive.<\/p>\n

Baker pleaded guilty to a charge of bringing a horse to race meeting with a prohibited substance.<\/p>\n

Cobalt lifts red blood cell production, increasing endurance in both human and equine athletes but can also have serious health side-effects.<\/p>\n

It can occur at very low levels in horses as it is a naturally occurring trace element present in feed, however a legal limit of 100 micrograms per litre has been set by racing officials.<\/p>\n

Higher levels than normal can also occur if a horse is injected with particular vitamin products shortly before a race meeting.<\/p>\n

Beautiful Love came third by a nose in Race 2 at Nanango on September 16, the Evolution Hair Studio Class B Handicap (1000m).<\/p>\n

This placing has now be voided and Karma Force, trained by Graham Wilson and ridden by Kelly Gates, has been elevated into third spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
