TGJB,

My thanks to you for posting, and to Delmar Deb, again, for making available such a thorough article on drugs in racing 'round the world. Good show!

It's becoming quite laughable that everyone who has ANY access to accurate data(TG, Rags, Beyers, etc)and ANY ability to reason, is seeing and describing EXACTLY the same thing regardless of where they happen to be situated on the globe. ( Oh, that's with the possible exception of US racing officials themselves... ) Oddly enough, most are recommending EXACTLY the same remedies(surveillance, screening protocols and penalties). I doubt there's been this much agreement on anything internationally since the ban on nuclear testing.

That reminds me, is nuclear testing still allowed in Maryland? at Pimlico? They seem to be the horseracing equivalent to North Korea. raz
