Because there aren't that many magic bullets.

The amazing thing is that this list thinks most horse trainers are dishonest, are cheaters.

I'm sure it is probably below 50% of total trainers that are cheating but it wouldn't surprise me if 50% of races won were from the barns of cheating trainers.

Yeah, probably a better way of phrasing it.

A better poll would have been, if you are watching a day of races at one of the bigger tracks (Santa Anita, Keeneland, Saratoga, Belmont, etc) - what percentage of horses do you think are running juiced right in front of your eyes? One in each race? Three a day?

What percentage of DT'ers are on drugs? That would be a better poll and I think the numbers would be higher....along with the DT'ers
