Either way , if Tap is so meticulas and into fine detail he would have tested the horse , I would have , we have done it with maidens so why wouldnt you do it with your big horse. If I were your asst, Shell wouldnt you want me to say hey boss I wanted you ask about the Pen. treatment for our mare , do you think we should test her to make sure? Im just asking as a person who is your second command wouldnt you want that compitence.

No question about it. Hell Pletcher knew what they were treating her with and the time frame so really it isnt the assistants responsibility in this case, it is Todds. I dont understand why they didnt test her beforehand like you said. Personally we are very conservative with our withdrawl times as i find it hard to believe that most meds have much effect at the listed withdrawl time so why not give yourself a little more leeway. I had a positive for a med last summer and we stopped 48 hours before the suggested withdrawl time in KY which is 72 hours longer than every other state. Since it was a minor violation we were just fined and no purse change or suspension but the withdrawl times listed dont necessarily mean you are safe.
