Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) stewards have been advised by ChemCentre in Perth that flunixin has been detected in the pre-race blood sample taken from Filthy Habits prior to it competing in, and finishing third, in Race 6 at Bunbury on 9 March 2024.
Flunixin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory therapeutic prescription animal remedy.
These findings have been verified by Racing Analytical Services Limited, Victoria.
Accordingly, stewards will inquire into these reports on Thursday, 11 July 2024, which Mr Fiore has been directed to attend.
