KY Panel Approves Out-of-Competition Testing

this seems like a huge deal for the racing side of the game... but truly aimed at and designed for (IMO) the WEG. those horses have pretty much a zero tolerance for everything...i recall the hoopla (at least on the farm) of a grand prix (jumper) horse testing positive for a corticosteroid....not a big deal if that was a tb on the track, a total clusterf*ck for show jumpers. Especially if said horse is ridden by Margie Goldstein

Some of the show jumper people I have been around use more stuff than we do pre-race. Blast them full of Dex and drain and inject hocks and stifles.
