Of course this does little for bettors of the runner up.

Here's a good strategy for an owner or trainer who has to take on these juiced horses trained by these chemists: When post time comes arond have someone else bet for you and bet heavy on the most juiced horses. Then after the drug testing is over and these guys get busted, your horse gets moved up and you collect the higher purse money. This would be strategy only for people involved in the races, because in the end they may get their just reward. As for the bettors, they just keep getting screwed.

Stidham is clearly a clown and for him to be winning @ 20% is joke. I've written it before and I'll offer it again: when a know juicer has a horse in the race, if a track is willing to let him run, then they need to offer discounted takeout for that race. This is because a bettor has to take extra combinations in order to account for the juicer.

We can define 'know juicer' as anyone who has a positive test. This should be a very sizable list at this point and it should also include owners.

With these mofo's, it's a crapshoot trying to figure out when/if their horses will run. That's the point of the ****in juce, isn't it?

That race was the first time ever that I actually bet on the horse that won and was now DQ'd. Been on the other side many times (although since they announce these positive tests and subsequent dq's weeks and months later, most of us might not either remember or even find out about it).

Not much "magic speed juice" or "chemistry" to etodolac. It's like giving ibuprofen. Just like bute, crush it up and give it to the horse. But definitely makes the aches and pains less prominant. Has no place in a horse race day.

quite the epidemic, eh?

Do you rate all testing violations the same in seriousness?

If so, then you might start making the list of those that have never had a positive for anything. Much easier, much shorter.
