This is really quite easy. ANY substance that is administered to a horse to enhance its performance is illegal. Its really that simple. The substance may or may not be on the prohibited/allowed list yet, but it will be. Obviously, this does not include Beer or eggs or whatever nutritional insights a trainer thinks he has. Flax instead of hay for instance. If anyone thinks that Todd Pletcher has stumbled onto the horse dinner panacea when other trainers are blissfully ignorant, more power to them. If he has stumbled onto it however he employs the same vet whose other well known client/trainers are also onto the "Power Dinner".
