Steve posted a connection to Pletchers mepivicaine case hearing and legal defense here, and the dose found in the horse was published (in fact, it was the basis of his entire defense).

Go to http://rulings.racing.state.ny.us/frm_Rulings.aspx and you can search and read all NYRC rulings regarding drug violations. You can google the Pletcher mepivicaine thing.

Not to change the subject but frankly I am surprised by the few here that are going to such great lengths in defending him, there are alot of astute knowledgeble minds that already have brought up great examples of why they believe not all was on the up and up with his stable. You have to be blind to not believe it was possible. I have no problem saying it is my alledged belief that Todd was a juicer, I have very little doubts about this fact.
