I am certain that video was meant sarcastically. Jorge Navarro is a known horseman's horseman who gets to the track earlier than anyone else, works harder than anyone else, and cares for his horses more than the other trainers. With a guy like Jorge, it isn't about the money; it's about the horses.
Until trainers on backsides that begin to call out those that they know are not playing on a fair playing field, nothing will happen. Out of self preservation, the other trainers turn a blind eye as much as the "powers" that be who rely upon entries by the trainers. In the alternative, uniform federal medication rules with equal and stiff penalties to those that fail tests are another way to level the playing field. Also worth considering is frozen samples as JB has suggested and sophisticated testing on every horse in every competition. Watch and see who can really train then.....but that is just a dream in the world of horse racing.
