*struggling to word this correctly - hope it makes sense*
How long does Bute take to get out the system? Or what is the time between giving a horse bute and it being able to compete legitmately?
I know Bute is a banned substance so if a horse had some today and tomorrow for example (2 sachets each day) would it still be in the system by Saturday?
I am not trying to cheat I just need to understand whether I should withdraw from an event this weekend or not due to a little accident the horse had today or would we be scuppered anyway because of the bute?
I'm not certain whether he will be fit to compete given the accident I just want to know what my options, if any, are.
The withdrawal date is tomorrow but as I entered the day after the ballot date I wouldn't get any refund - assuming I understand the rules properly (Rule 2.20).
I'm a little bit gutted as it was going to be my first BE (on day tickets) and YO had very kindly offered to give me a lift. I'm not sure I'll get a chance to do another.
Does anyone know if I did withdraw whether I would keep my day tickets to use at another event, but just lose the entry fee OR do I lose everything and need to buy more day tickets should I get a chance to go somewhere else?
