I'm with Rupert. The Kentucky situation is as disgraceful as it is preposterous.
The cheating is rampant. The chemists are three or more steps ahead of the testers and racing has been woefully negligent in pursuit of illegal medication.
I'm don't want to get on my soapbox but anybody that doesn't see the obvious and egregious doping going on in the game, specifically at the highest levels of the game, has their head in the sand ( or somewhere else ). Just because you like a trainer, and just because he is talented, doesn't necessarily mean he's honest. Everybody is to blame...the vets who supply it, the trainers who use it, and the owners who pay the bills. They breed is being debilitated and the results are being falsified.
And the bettors are getting screwed. And so are the honest trainers and owners.
