Mepivicane is also used as a diagnostic tool to find lameness , you block a horse out starting at the foot and work your way up until it blocks out or not . My thought on the Mepivicane positive is that most likely one of the Asst. had a horse blocked out found the problem treated it and then perhaps didnt bother to tell the boss exactly when the horse was blocked to avoid being entered too early , the boss entered and boom he gets a positive, because I just cant imiagine someone actually thinking they could get away with treating a horse with Mepivicane for a race and thinking thay can get away with it , at least not at the level TAP races at. Once again Im sticking with knocking all the Asst, Trainers heads together and telling them to either pull their heads out of their ass or leave. Its just plain retarded that someone cant keep track of what the hell is going on.

I think with Wait A While and her Pen. positive they most likely thought they were in the clear but didnt bother to absolutly sure , I know I would have had her tested to make sure. With the Mepivicane positive I really do think the Asst. screwed up , he and the vet prolly blocked the horse out for whatever reason , found the problem and then perhaps didnt relay the 411 in detail to the boss.

the other positive was pretty close to Honu's explanaation as the story goes. it is entirely plausible considering that these guys have huge outfits and hundreds of horses and the assistants are doing most of the training in some places. That is one of the downsides of having a huge stable |

Either way , if Tap is so meticulas and into fine detail he would have tested the horse , I would have , we have done it with maidens so why wouldnt you do it with your big horse. If I were your asst, Shell wouldnt you want me to say hey boss I wanted you ask about the Pen. treatment for our mare , do you think we should test her to make sure? Im just asking as a person who is your second command wouldnt you want that compitence.

I know its Todd's job to be on top of things but with 250 or more horses in training or at least that many to think about that is when the Asst. is supposed to step up to the pump and help with a reminder or whatever the way is they go about it .
