He made it a point to say he did not think that was the case with Eight Belles. Is North America the only country that allows race day medications?

I've always thought this was correct. I hated when NYRA started allowing Lasix. The rest of the world has it right. The U.S. has it wrong. All of the drugs and the synthetic tracks are damaging our sport more than helping it by masking a lot of the problems that horses have. Fix the horses, not the tracks. Fix the horses, don't give them meds to hide the problems.
