BC Sprint Purse Being Withheld

I agree with Steve. This situation wouldn't have happened years ago because the efforts hadn't been made yet to do this kind of testing and at these type of levels. There are still a lot of variables to be resolved, which this situation has highlighted.

However, they do have to do something about compounded drugs. That is ridiculous. There are little or no controls.

Uhm the biggest control is in place and always has been in place..You don't have to use such drugs. You don't have to practice this type of regiment. I don't think Ellis did a darn thing shady BUT he got caught speeding. He clearly has experience using this drug.

Would more have been done to prevent the horse from running if the field was larger?

If this was a trainer with less backstretch cred would BC scratched horse?

Whatever drug guidelines you set up people are going to exploit to the N'th degree.
