You my friend are the voice of a many owners who use these excuses to justify hiring a guy with a poor track record. And THAT is the greatest obstacle this sport, game business has in cleaning up its act.

This sport is no different then any other.. my horse had double barrel adaquan for two days before he raced. Adaquan is legal in Pa. to race on.. Is adaquan a naturally occuring substance? Is gastrogard a natural substance. Surely your horses get similar meds as they are common and helpful to making them feel better and run faster.. You think the line stops where? I want nothing to do with racing any horse on any medication that is NOT LEGAL. but if it is legal and will help me win and pay for a complete laimo you are dam straight I am interested. If ole Kenny Mc peek was buying 50k horses and found something which was a non natural substance but was not detrimental to the horses health made them run better and wasnt going to get him or myself in trouble count me in as long at it is legal. Legal is defined as a substance which is tested for that the state mandates you get in troublefor if your horse races on it. If they dont test for it how can it be illegal or more importantly why ?
