Frank: I'm an owner but let's face it, the private property argument has been dead a long time. There are all sorts of rules that now not only require disclosure of treatments owners provide to their horses (such as the administration of Lasix and Bute, gelding a horse, etc.), but require that this information be provided to the betting public. The reason for requiring disclosure to the betting public is that it is relevant, material information for a bettor to have in analyzing a race, and that to have a fair betting environment, all bettors should have access to all such relevant, material information. All I am advocating is expanding the concept of what treatments are likely to significantly affect performance and requiring disclosure of those treatments as well.
