i think when a stable is caught doing something, the whole team should be suspended...not just the head trainer. what good is it when it's business as usual, and the guy in charge takes a 'vacation' since that's how they all refer to it? the horses should have to move to another barn altogether, not just run in an assistants name-that's no punishment at all.

It's much easier to legalize any medication.

The War on Drugs has failed and it is failing miserably in horse racing.

Legalize all of it and the stats will have some semblance of fluidity.
