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.

We are also very safe at our barn , we withdrawl like you at 48 hrs before the suggested time , and like Ive said before Ive had to go into the office with my tail between my legs when I have made a mistake and believe me it isnt easy . But I take pride in my job and I have respect for my boss and our team and the owners and would rather suffer the ass chewin than do something to discredit the barn.
I know its Todd's job to be on top of things but with 250 or more horses in training or at least that many to think about that is when the Asst. is supposed to step up to the pump and help with a reminder or whatever the way is they go about it .
