The driving force behind this is the Jockey Club and some of its outspoken members. Note that many didnt want to speak to the Times reporters because they knew whatever they said would be misinterpreted yet Jockey club stalwarts Janney, Farmer and Iuliano had no problem stirring the pot with innuendo and nonsense about Seabiscuit.

Imagine NFL executives speaking about football like Jockey Club members talk about racing?

I wonder how much of the owners complaints are even valid. There is one sentence that says that 2 of their horses were treated with clembuterol for 7 consecutive days (which is laughable considering that if there was some lung issues this would be easily within the suggested treatment period) yet vets wouldnt be the ones treating the horses as they would just dispense the clembuterol which comes in syrup form.

There are some trainers/vets who have out of control bills but I wonder a lot of times if they even dispense the meds or if it just a scam.
