This issue(illegal drugs) is quite hard on the TRAINERS/OWNERS that don't cheat(or don't cheat as much.)It is less an issue for the horse bettor.It means more short prices for the bettor (when a cheater claims a horse.)See,people who bet horses know who is best at getting horses to run.They don't know how they do get them to run.The high % trainers don't particularly hurt the horseplayers all that much(just makes it chalky.)What hurts the horseplayer are the guys that only drug certain horses at long odds.The awful thing about Harness is that people get zero entertainment when the horses they play break-go off stride etc. As long as they ignore that p.r. wound,that sport will continue to be a joke.

T-Breds need to take some cues on the whole detention barn situation. It seems like a no brainer to everyone. Way to easy to fix races in harness racing though. Sit on the rail, sit on the rail, sit on the rail, whip really hard to go from 6th to 5th down the stretch!!!
Plus a leading driver in an interview admitted a few years ago that most drivers will quit trying if they can not get the win. They want the trainer to use them again when the horse runs one week later so they don't use a horse hard if they can get up for second or third.
