What would be an interesting story is how Gary Contessa, good guy and perennial
8% - 10% winning trainer, could be using PEDs so ineptly.
As to KMac, he has been successful on the racetrack in all of his endeavors,
jock agent for Chris Antley, assistant trainer for D. Wayne, first US trainer
to uproot and head for the Middle East, etc. and he will retire with his reputation intact.
Its kind of sad that these two retiring trainers are tied in to Navarro and
Servis in this thread. Also sad that many owners who have aligned themselves
almost exclusively with high percentage trainers for decades now seem to be
above mention. Also sad that EPO ("elephant juice") is still being used
undetected, as it has been since the late 1970s.
If a test (kind of a popular word these days) can be developed for some of
these compounded substances/PEDS, any frozen samples from the past few years
could prove very important, and may result in a much wider net being cast.
