![]() to make a trainer have to pay his jockey even if the horse is DQ'd for a drug positive...I think hurting the checkbook is still the probably the best way to cut down on cheating...

![]() That reminds me.. did Willie Martinez lose his share when Brass Hat was DQ'ed in the Dubai World Cup?
That bigger the purse the bigger the penalty

![]() I was always under the impression that the owners and not the trainers paid for the Jockey.
Assuming you're saying that the trainer should pay the jock out of his own pocket than following that logic should he also have to pay the owner the lost purse. Now that would hurt! |

I maintain there should be a "Strike 3" rule. You get caught once, there's a fine. Twice, a bigger fine, a suspension, Three time, and you're out: Lifetime ban. Of course, I'm not at all a tolerant person... |

the biggest problem with it would be trying to reason out the 'accidental' overages and the blatant abuse of illegal medications...ie a bute positive vs. a mepivicaine positive...they are not the same thing and should not be looked at the same...a rule like this probably creates more chaos than solution...

I'm against raceday medications of almost every kind. Bute, for example, has it's place in the equine world. If I need to quickly reduce inflammation, I drop a dose of bute in their feed, but beyond that I don't use the stuff. It's hard on kidneys and hard on the equine tummy - one of my personal show horses is quite colic prone, and bute is only ever used for him in an emergency situation (i.e. a puncture wound suffered last summer). I don't think racehorses should be allowed to run on bute or banamine, and I don't think horses should be allowed to run on Lasix unless they're a proven bleeder. I never liked the idea of Lasix... but that's another debate for another time. Like I said, I'm one of those "no tolerance" kind of people, which is sometimes good and sometimes... not so much. I could go into a 5 page long ramble on all kinds of alternatives for medications, but this isn't the place or time, lol. In fact, I think my "Strike 3" theory is pretty tolerant, compared to what I'd REALLY like to do. |

![]() I still like the idea of a track pharmacy. All medicines for the horses must come from the parmacy and be recorded. Any substances found that cannot be documented, yer DQd and punished. This should be required for all tracks.
