I'll just deal with one point. You don't have to hold anything in escrow. Cheaters are ahead of the testers, but they would be nuts to assume they're ahead of where the testers will be in 5 years. If you get a retroactive positive, you retest all that guy's samples-- and he gets hit for each positive. Multi positives are enough to ban someone for a very long time, maybe life. That should have a pretty good deterrent effect-- especially after you step on the first guy. As I told the Jockey Club nine years ago, you're going to have to hang someone.
And that's part two. The JC has a lot of money, and has proven they are willing to kick in to help. But they have no power to force tracks to act, which is why they are getting behind the Federal legislation. which they believe will get through next year. I have my doubts, and my doubts about whether it should, given the Lasix issue. I'm going to end up having to fight them on that one, which I'm not happy about.
