Yeah, I read the EPO story too, and what's really interesting is that the policy of testing claimed horses for it (with the right to cancel the claim) is in effect in NY, and I hadn't heard a word about it. That was an idea I gave the powers that be over a year ago.

I wrote a VERY long letter to the editor (900 words) about drugs, rebates etc., that will either appear in DRF (they want 600 words,we are negotiating about cuts and language about their coverage) or Thoroughbred Daily News as an op-ed piece in the next few days.

Mall, I think the low number of entrants in the local contest came because people didn't want to pay for a trip to Vegas with only a small chance to qualify-- it figured to be mostly locals, as most tournaments are unless they put up big money.

Razzle-- very good work about the detention barns. I think you'll like the proposals in the letter to the editor.
