Yeah that's not the takeaway here at all. By standing up to the positives and winning, the ruling could and should help the little guys, but it's a shame it took a bigger guy getting screwed first. It just further demonstrates a need for an overhaul in medication policies.

The "Jockey Club types" haven't said 'off with their heads' about any and all medication violations. It may be how you've taken it, but sounds like all of them are frustrated with how they can do all the right things and still get screwed. They're not saying horses can never get medication ever.
