In a separate but related story.
A couple of months ago, I read a news article, the gist of which was, any horse which tested positive for PED's in Ireland was banned from competition for life.
The curious thing was it was a discussion of very young and unraced horses as I understood it.
It was as if one could change the physiology of a horse by treating it with drugs at a very early age. The steroids, which I think was the focus, apparently have a lasting effect.
I remember thinking there must be something there for the Irish authorities to get involved in such a serious way. Further it occurred to me that such techniques could be a part of the Baffert magic in so much as his trainees, as a group, hit the track superior athletes to the competition.
I'm not accusing trainer Baffert of anything I'm wondering which of his 1st out winners is going to take the BC Juvenile race(s)
