It's goes way beyond that Austrainlian trainer that came over to the US with lots of success...With lots of politicing by local US trainers, since then harness racing have had an edge for years over Tbreds in that during the 80's until Harness racing began testing for shakes and instituted detention barns. KY Harness was late in jumping on board. NJ and NY harness were early adopters. It's hard to fathom that the holir than thou tbred owner blue bloods don't realize a horse is a horse and what can happen in one industry could happen in theirs.
