He needs to start firing his Asst. Trainers and hiring one's that keep track of what meds each horse is on and withdrawl time . I know Todd cant be at all his barns at once so the people he has running the show for him dont seem to be very competant. I know there have been times when I have screwed up and gave a horse something not knowing it was entered in a race and have went with my head hung low and told the boss right away , believe me I felt like an azz for not knowing the horse was in , but regardless I had to tell him and suffer the azz chewin. This man trains some of the best horses there are and his clients deserve the most able people too do the job , its pretty clear that the Asst. are not doing thier jobs . I mean how hard is it to say hey boss we treated that filly with penicillian cream for her cracked heals or whatever the case may be and we arent sure if she will clear do you want to have her urine tested to make sure. Its very simple to avoid a bad test if people are on top of things and honest.
