I am of the opinion that Dr Allday is the man who holds the secrets... he could shake racing to it's foundation if he were to come clean, but that would include self-incrimination.

Here's Dave Grening's story from DRF, background to today's most interesting events on ATR:

I agree with Jerry Brown in that all vets should be published in the DRF. I would have to ask Simon on how many vets there are and if this is even plausible but I am of the understanding that a trainer has one vet, a guy like Pletcher probably has one guy that only does his horses at each track, I don't know. I could be very wrong about this.

Hey, Steve - we couldn't even hear your jaw hit the floor after Allday got going! Very professionally done

Listing of vets is a waste of time. Some practices have as many as seven or eigth different vets, many of which cover multiple barns. I personally have had at least 12 vets this year work on my horses or give Lasix shots or something like that and it isn't like I have 100 horses. Guys like Allday who almost never give prerace meds or Lasix would never be listed. He pretty much does only diagonistic work now(thats where all the money is) in a number of different barns.

So who would be listed? The vet who last treated the horse? I just dont see how it would help.
