No one s/b allowed in the detention barn from the connections , its defeating the purposes or at the very least can't NYRA put a screener in place just like at the airport - how mullins is able to get in there with what he had is just a disater
NYRA doesn't employ grooms and or horsemen, just security to oversee everything. I sure wouldn't be handing my horse to some stranger and saying "I'll see you in the paddock for the G1 race in 6 hours..." They do check bags and boxes and totes etc that are brought in. Everyone from hotwalkers to trainers are supposed to be checked. A metal dosing syringe easily fits in the pocket of a jacket and since it was cold, no one would think a fairly heavy coat was odd. Not sure why they failed to check his pockets though.
