While the ace positive makes Avila look really bad, for those who bet on the horse what is the difference between not trying or not trying plus acepromazine?

probably nothing. but to say he needs a race vs don't really push him and let's give him a tranq too....just seems so over the top.


but that's probably why it's called gambling and not winning.

Exactly..I bet on horses that are not well meant ALL the time without knowing they arent fit enough or conditioned to win a race. The drugs are just a eye sore they really have little to do with the fact that in most races there are several horses that arent in it to win it.
