Of course if your horse has a phantom sickness and you treat it then you will be clear too. Maybe the tracks should look at the fact that we enter sometimes 5 days before a race is actually run and a lot can happen in those 5 days. But they would rather waste everyones time and money by ensuring the horse gets a shot of banamine.

Thanks....good point. Thats why I made not much of a comment on it. I don't know the insides of the industry, like so many other people on here do
