Taking things at face value in horse racing hahaha. If you haven't watched his so called "presser" give it a look. Especially when he hails all the transparency ever with Medina. And then an editor for Paulick asks if he will release vet records to the public and he pauses looking for an answer only to say he will (or has?) given it to the Kentucky Racing folks.

As richiebee pointed out LONG ago, the horses likely work with the medications and then they are likely cleared out by race day. He worked on the 23rd. But no lasix these days might be slowing how quickly things clear??

Betamethasone and Dexamethasone are both corticosteroids. Some reading about how maybe testing wasn't catching these things (Dex) below. But maybe now they are???? Even if in picograms Dex or Beta or whatever. . . . Another positive test. 29 times prior he has had troubles so kind of hard to think he isn't "pushing the envelope." And even harder to give him any credibility.

[i]"According to the indictment, around June 5, 2019, New Jersey regulators tested Maximum Security ahead of the TVG.com Pegasus Stakes at Monmouth Park, a short time after the horse had been given a shot of SGF-1000. During an intercepted call between Servis and Rhein, the veterinarian is heard saying, "They don't even have a test for it (SGF-1000) ... There's no test for it in America."

Rhein goes on to say the test might show a false positive for "dex" and agreed to falsify records to make it appear as if the racehorse received "dex." The indictment does not clarify, but "dex" is a common shorthand among horsemen and vets for the corticosteroid and anti-inflammatory dexamethasone."[/i]
