Phoebe, Miff, Jimbo,Etal: I'll ask the question again. If you feel illegal drug use is rampant, why do you continue betting on horses? Would you play a blackjack game with all the aces taken out of the deck?Also, keep in mind that it seems to me that a trainer that is cheating will just as likely stiff a horse as illegally "boost" it.
Also, I'm not a chemist but I think the reason the tracks are having a hard time developing a valid EPO test is that it is a naturally occurring element in horses and differentiating between induced EPO and "regular" EPO has proven very difficult. Under this circumstance, it is imperative for the tracks to make sure they have a valid EPO test before they officially implement it.
Until we get solid evidence to the contrary, I'm inclined (maybe naively) to credit the "super" trainers with developing legal "super" training or nutritional methods. Asfufh
