HMMM. "Burst my bubble?" I assume you mean that I have illusions of what is going on. I have owned horses every year since 1990. Some Grade 1 winners. So, I assume you are one of the "serious players" that you reference. And, according to you serious players have been discussing this topic for 40+ years yet "there is no way to know who the vets are unless you are an owner or have contacts on the backside."

What have you been discussing then for 40+ years? The fact that you just don't know?

NYRA and CHRB and the rest of the race track operators know the information that you say they don't know. It is also ridiculous to imply that race tracks don't know who the jock agents represent -- if that is what you are trying to say. I stand by my original comment. The people who have authority to do something about this (not the serious players you again reference) have turned a blind's eye to this. The vets need to be held accountable -- especially when illegal drugs are being used -- and they have not been.
