The idea that time cures all is ridiculous. As I have said many times, no one yet has convinced me yet that thoroughbred horses shouldn't benefit from modern medicine like every other species on the Earth. Virtually no legal medication given to horses harms them if used properly.

Dutrow deserves whatever fate befalls him. He has plenty of other issues outside of medication violations.
Why would you stop using a drug 4 days before? So its ok to work your horse in 58 and its not harmful or irresponsble so who cares if the horse runs 1:10 7 days later on it in a race? Testing for a drug that you use daily because the enionment is dusty is silly.

Of course time doesnt cure all but it certainly used instead of drugs that will get them to the races faster
