Pic of Curlin in Dubai

[Merlinsky]

Thanks. If he runs as good as he looks nowadays he should do fine but we miss out on seeing him run here for a few months. I guess they figure better to make all that money in one race rather than half of it in multiple ones here over that time span. I'm curious, how expensive is it to do a blood test yourself for substances the Dubai folks have a zero tolerance policy for? If I were them and I medicated horses the way some do, I'd make sure he wouldn't trip the trigger and cause embarrassment not to mention wasting his energy for nothing. Unless of course it was a problem to take care of. Would it be and does anyone do that?
