I really dont have an issue with using a lil steroids here and there preferibly Winstrol over Equipoise , Equipoise has a very dramatic effect on a horses demeaner while Winstrol doesnt and does help with getting horses to eat .
Thankfully I work for someone who hardly ever uses steroids at all , but as long as it is legal I dont see why it should put any kind of a notation next to a horses name , because believe me Big Brown has enough natural talent to win on jellybeans.

It's funny how some trainers love steroids to the point where they just automatically put all of their horses on a regular steroid regimen. Then other trainers, such as your boss have the comple opposite view. I remember the first horse we ever had with you was that filly that we bought privately from a trainer on the east coast. The first thing that RM said when the filly came in was that we needed to give her some time to get all the steroids out of her system. He thought that steroids were the worst thing for that filly. I think he was right. He gave her about 2-3 months and then she won a graded stakes race.
