For those owners that prefer juice

[ELA]

I understand your points. I've had horses with trainers who haven't had a positive test in 25 years, and I've had horses with trainers who have had a few positive tests (clenbuterol). I don't think that's really the point though.

Don't pass a rule due to frustration. Pass a rule because it is part of a global solution. I don't think this one is clear cut. It is very dangerous to draw a line from the owner to the trainer and simply say that owner has the ultimate and absolute responsibility. That is oversimplifying the situation in a monsterous way.

Let's wait until an owner, or a group of owners, challenges this.
