On his list he's said he believes that TCO2 levels well below the established illegal threshold moves horses up lengths and is performance-enhancing.
He's said he wants TCO2 levels published and public for every horse, every race, so one can identify the average levels for individual trainers (to identify "move-up" trainers).
He thinks that the currently established world-wide TCO2 overage levels should be lowered markedly.

I'd love to see that happen. To protect themselves from countersuits they have to set the threshold to be above the levels that any horse could ever possibly reach naturally. It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure things out if you are seeing a trainer consistently move up the TCO2 levels of their newly acquired horses.
