Can't wait to see L1 next to Mafaaz when he runs here for the Blue Grass or Derby.

Raven's Pass raced on both bute and lasix when he won the BC Classic for Gosden.

You can be against drugs all you want - but you'd have to be an idiot to give away an edge to the rest of the field.

"There is plenty of scientific and anecdotal evidence suggesting that breeding for the marketplace rather than the racetrack and relying too heavily on medications have put thoroughbreds at risk. Still, no consistent rules for breeding or medications have been put in place across the nation."

Where exactly is this evidence? This is another example of an opinion piece sold as news or factual material.

Mafaaz may run "drug free" but since he has run a grand total of three times he is hardly the model horse to use.
