Why hasn't it had any affect on any other of the suspicious guys?
The detention barn is a major negative if it is the primary source of a tracks efforts to curb illegal behavior because it is relatively ineffective overall and completely useless against other types like EPO or milkshaking. While NYRA is
to be commended for doing something it is simply the tip of the iceberg when trying to combat illegal behavior. What you have in theory eliminated are things that are simply given before a horse goes into the detention barn. Do you seriously think that research was done when it was determined that the best time to give Lasix is 4 hours out? It was total guesswork. Plenty of things that are given have just as much effectiveness given 6 or 8 hours out.
