Gimme a break. Nobody scopes unless they suspect respiratory problems related to the race that the horse just ran.

Both horses had the same illness?

I don't know you -- but pal -- you look like a liar to me.

Well one horse just raced after getting lose and sliding about 40 feet on the parking lot. The other horse hasnt raced since before labor day and he has been sick off and on. I am not a trainer or a vet. I do not know why they decided to scope. Maybe they jock said something--I dont know. The point is that they came back clean.
