We need more owners making a commitment to try to breed sound horses to sound horses and try to identify those studs that ran on drugs (legal or otherwise) and not breed to them. Kudos to this family for their efforts.

The last comment from him is interesting to me. He says they try to look for stallions that were more drug-free than others. Won't that lead him to breeding to more stallions that had really short careers on the track and thus were less proven as racehorses? I'm thinking that as a general rule, the longer u were on the track and the more u raced, the more chance that u were on some kind of drugs.
