Most tracks cannot even afford to keep the track in good shape. Who is going to pay for all the drug testing? No answer to that question was broached when I was listening.
I'm all for testing, but to be cynical for a moment will it work? The cheaters always seem to be a few steps ahead of the testers, if something is flagged they will go to something else less detectable. Other sports have had simular problems catching the cheaters, horseracing is no different I surmise. The only way to level the playing field is to let them all cheat, and the chance of that happening is O.
