They should get rid of most of the drugs. There are way too many legal drugs and most of them are not necessary. Pharmacology is probably almost half the game these days. It's ridiculous.

In my previous post, I was simply saying that if they trained the horses really hard that the horses wouldn't last. If they trained them hard, the horses would be much sore than they are now. If that happened, then the horses probably could not run without drugs.
