CTC-- Basically, it comes from talking to a lot of people who are seriously concerned about the problem (Waterman in KY., Ron Charles in Ca., Andy Schweigardt at TOBA, others), and seeing what Hayward and Karches are doing in NY. This is the beginning of the problem being taken seriously, and yes, the evidence (as opposed to proof) to me was the performances of the horses. This is something that has to be watched closely, and it would be a mistake to draw blanket conclusions ONE WAY OR THE OTHER based on one result, because we don't know everything that was going on. If it was the plain clothes guys and not the tests that scared people, some horses may be got to and others not-- there was a huge difference, by all accounts, from the level of backstretch security at the 03 and 04 Breedres Cups, for example.
