Hey Freddy
I'm not saying there aren't vets with black bags...I'm saying no lasix, no bute. No "legal" raceday medication. As for the other stuff, that's up to the testing to catch and whatever will be, will be.
I feel like everyone grossly misinterprets that statement, when I make it, and that includes Steve Byk per our back and forth on ATR a few weeks back. To me - raceday medication specifically means the legalized drugs that North American racing jurisdictions explicitly allow and the rest of the world does not. To NOT agree that Lasix and Bute have a stranglehold on American racing is beyond comprehension to me...
If you medicate illegally...and you aren't caught - so be it - and that happens all over - there is no reason to think I am an uninitiated novice, not wise to the ways of the world.
Who knows if that was a difference for Tahitian Warrior today, but on the surface, I thought his being on turf was a major sign against. I didn't have him near my top three.
