The health of the horse is paramount IMO and the analogy to a shot which would prevent breakdowns absolutely summarizes the main issue. The comment of the breakdowns being public but the suffering of a bleeding horse seen only in the barn also underscores how the benefits of this drug vastly outweigh the negatives. Educating the public is the response, not banning a medication that is available to all to level the playing field which reduces the number of horses who needlessly have to suffer.

excellent point by romans! and agree complete with the underlined comments.
