If the powers-that-be here would ban drugs... sorry, pipe-dreams...

True, many horses have run 1 week prior to the 2 mile Melbourne Cup prepping in 1 1/2 races stake races. If they did that here, the Trainer would be submitted to supply a specimen for possible drug use...It's amazing how sturdy their horses are over there. First time I noticed that I was blown away and then we have horses running 6 times over a yr and complaining of hard campaigns. Doesn't make sense does it?
