Racing needs to keep up the momentum for dope testing . You can see it's levelling the playing field, as one would expect .

Where has the playing field been leveled exactly?

I don't think Curlin or Big Brown were as effective after being removed from the steroids . Pletcher's record indicates the pressure is on him to stay clean . If racing ever gets on top of the doping it will level the playing field . Maybe that's a better way to put it .

in theory this would be great...

but how can you get on top of the doping when new drugs can and will be created that cant be tested for?

It will be a never ending cycle.
