At this point Drugs are cost of doing business for these guys. Get caught and return purse money and pay a fine... How many times have they not been caught. with the dollars in the derby pool make this hurt and send a message.

The reason Include the track and owners is I feel both know or suspect but turn a blind eye. Penalize owners and you can be certain owners will not want to take chances in the future.

The problem is it’ll probably be years before a class action suit is settled.

But I’m with you on penalizing the owners. They share a lot of the blame. I’m not sure what the right course of action is...but I can safely say whatever has been done is not working.

Hoss this is about sending a message that cost of doing business won't work in future.

Based upon my calculations of the kinetics horse had to be given this approximately 3 days prior to the derby for the levels detected. Rules are in place for 14 days to insure it’s completely below detection levels. The baffert team surely knows this and pushed it thinking it would be cleared. No way it’s a false positive.
