I heard a rumor years ago, from a good source, that a whole bunch tested bad in the BC. They thought it may doom the BC and let it all slide. They cleaned it up and ran some trainers out, but I've always kind of believed it. In over 30 years of BC races, no horse has tested positive. I find that a bit hard to believe.

And I'm not a negative guy. I love good horses and I think they are put under greater scrutiny and our sport is cleaner than ever. Think of it, what other sport is the top 3 finishers routinely drug tested? NFL, MLB, NBA? No.

There have been BC positives called.

Lashkari and Wait a While (penicillin) had overages. Lashkari's was ultimately set aside. Wait a While and Pletcher had penalties leveled.
