Business as usual today folks...Move on.. The HBO doc on dog hustlers was way worse. Watching Dr. Hunt give a horse an injection is hardily cruelity to animals. Lasix is a preformance enhancer who cares it isnt bad for horses if used properly (small doses) and if good people rehydrate them with care and cobcern.
Remember there are a lot of fine horsemen who use drugs medicinally and a lot of caring hard working trainers, grooms, hots etc. that call this industry their home and love the horses and the sport. Steve Assumussen did a poor job supervising his staff and as such needs to be accountable.
Surely we arent babes in the woods. Surely we realize that when X trainer is 41% off the claim AND we bet the horse that horse has gone to a trainer and barn that is much more aggresive campaign of medication.
Those cute pictures of foals that Darley, Juddemonte and other organizations post on twitter isnt racing its breeding. Racing is brutal not cute and fuzzy.
