RESULTS of the autopsy into Caulfield Cup winner Admire Rakti may be known as early as Monday.

The Japanese stayer dropped dead in its stall after running last in the Melbourne Cup on November 4, having started the race a raging favourite.

Racing Victoria's chairman of stewards Terry Bailey has confirmed the exhaustive investigation in the cause of death was now "98 per cent" done and that the results would "be released this week, possibly as early as Monday."

Bailey made no apologies for the protracted process to determine the cause of death.

It's been reported, and suggested by RV's chief vet Dr Brian Stewart, that the cause of death was a heart attack. That's expected to be confirmed by the results.

However exhaustive tests have been carried out to ensure "everyone knows the correct story" according to Bailey.

He said he was aware of rumours circulating after the death of potential drug usage but was not prepared to comment until all evidence was before the stewards.

Dr Stewart and Bailey have said repeatedly that they did not believe drugs were involved, and instead that the Japanese galloper had suffered a rate form of heart failure which also afflicts human athletes.

"But you leave no stone unturned in these circumstances and we have had every test done that is at our disposal," Bailey said.
