If owners were serious about "cleaning up" the game they could start by sending horses elsewhere. THAT would get these guys attention quicker than 6 month suspensions.
There will always be another new owner with fresh money looking to win NOW.. Owners can't and will never legislate themselves you are being completely naive.. You go to Disney after you win the superbowl.. Who would send horses to a guy who isn't on the cutting edge and ahead of the curve.. Drugs aren't always the reason why these guys win more.. Maybe its a hyberbaric chamber maybe its swimming a horse maybe its running them up hills in Maryland.. Chuck there are only a few elite trainers who can offer an owner with unlimited funds unlimited super care and conditioning..
