I applaud the idea of the testing, but to still let them run in the race is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. Once again the betting public will be the ones affected most. Imagine that your superfecta would have paid off, if not for the jucied up horse that nosed you out for forth.

When they came around for the blood they were probably all scrambling around like when Dean Wormer walked into Delta House.

It's worked for the folks in the infield so far. One of the fun interviews to watch is when they send somebody to the infield to talk to fans. If it weren't so funny, it'd be tragic.

I finally took the time to read the article. This is ABSURD! Test 3 days prior, but don't let anyone know the results until after the race? That's really protecting the betting public. I guess now we have to watch for strange, large wagers on certain horses whose connections might think they will be disqualified from purse money.
