It's like some were totally primed for their first start and once they got into the season, totally floundered. It's pretty tough to go 1-for-38 after having gone 9-for-41 with the same group.
Still think its drug free over there?

There is no permissive race-day medication, but there have certainly been suspensions and fines for overages.

It's hard when you are compensated by them to be completely objective. Nice quip about raceday meds like it matters if you own the lab doing the testing.

Lets call a spade a spade. They cheat with the same veracity as any other major concern.

Oh dear what a disaster - If only now the Sheikh realises that the best way for his horses long term is to send them all to Fabre, that would be great...
