Are you saying that Kiaran is one of those "well-packaged, most blatant edge-takers"? We are talking about a very small amount that may, at that amount, have a negliable effect on performance. Plus, as long as we have a sport governed by multiple entities with varying rules and regulations I think a mistake or misjudgement is bound to happen. There are many states that can run on that substance at that level without any problem. Why doesn't everybody just take a breath and wait on the split sample. It is too bad that the tests have yet to be confirmed and Ray came out with this.

And there's no conflict with how I handle interviews. I expect that trainers are operating on the up and up until shown otherwise...

I have no demi-gods. I am just questioning your judgemental views in light of your very gracious interviewing style where you heep praise on Kiaran and some of the people you have mentioned on this thread. To make some of the statements you have on this thread and then turn around and praise them for work that you denigrate here IS a conflict. And finally, your comment that you expect trainers are operating on the up and up appears to presume an open-mindedness that is not refective on many of your comments here on this subject. McLaughlin is not a villain. I doubt he is even a cheater. To pile on him and lump him in with others that you have had on your show is unfortunate. A mistake was made and he is handling it with the class that he is known for. Class that many might do well to learn from. I know, another "remarkable" post here. But I assure you, my last one on this subject.

For Cardus and Handicappy..
Sorry my approach to this particular topic doesn't meet with your respective approvals. I respect virtually everyone that trains horses for a living and actively promote their work and the entire industry rather tirelessly. Everyone's respective ox seem to get gored at one time or another when this odious topic arises. I'll leave it at that.

Look, new policies.
Kentucky adopts new test rules By Matt Hegarty LEXINGTON, Ky. - The Kentucky Racing Commission adopted new regulations Tuesday that will drop a requirement to test all race winners for illegal drugs in favor of a new policy that focuses on horses whose performances are suspicious. Under the new regulations, all winners will be sent to the test barn for the collection of blood and urine samples, along with at least one other horse in the race selected by the three stewards. However, if the winner is among the race's favorites and performed according to its recent past performances, its post-race sample will only be tested 50 percent of the time, while the samples from the horse or horses selected by the stewards will always be tested. Stewards are supposed to select the horses based on several criteria, including aberrant wagering patterns, performances that are significantly better or worse than a horse's odds or past performances would indicate, or intelligence from racetrack security, according to Dr. Mary Scollay, the commission's equine medical director. http://www.drf.com/news/article/109277.html

"If you have a horse that has won the last five starts, went off at 2-5, and distanced the field by 20, is that horse of interest in terms of medication issues?" Scollay said after the meeting. "The form is consistent, so there's probably another horse in the race that is, say, 100-1 who finished second, and that horse is of much more interest from a testing standpoint." So basically if you medicate them from the get-go and they stay the same you're safe?
