I have no clue nor do I care very much. I suspect Mclaughlin will be fine. Mostly because he is a wonderful horseman with terrific skills. The assertion that the very best trainers in the industry are simply medical wonders is so friggin self righteous that you have to laugh hard.
You think I don't understand these guys push hard, please any moron knows they are vetting the F out of their stock. So apparently this is what it takes to get horses to race well. WE have 50k races in this country a year. Close 60% of the tracks and make shopping malls out of them and you will see the decline of the cheaters and the emergence of the full field and high quality properly bred animal.. Do you realize how many horrendously bred animals are bred because Penn Nat lets pigs race for 25k? A complete pig races for 25k and the best of allowance race horses go for 45k.

And this is the same logic that led us to Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. Having the best horses isnt enough. We need to "push hard". Or in other words cheat. I have defended many trainers on the forum when they get a bs positive and everyone wants to pile on. But when a "wonderful guy" gets a blatant positive it is just business as usual? Incredible.
