Pilgrims,
It's the often-expressed Dr. Harthill theme of "hey, these animals NEED the stuff to run." versus the idea of a no-medication world that levels the playing field. The veterinary lobby is strong and we all know that you can't go home again.
For me, it boils down to this: You want a racing world with all the pharmaceuticals? All the crap? Fine! You can medicate all you want. JUST TELL US! Just tell us - the poor schnooks that gamble - what's being injected into a horse's system! JUST TELL US!
The Form uses an L for Lasix. And a B for Bute. Add these symbols:
X - for rocket-fuel X-15
Y - for steroid Y
Z - for muscle-relaxer Z
P - Peppermints
P(am) - Peppermints in the morning
P(pm) - Peppermints at night
Etc..
I know this is preposterous. And you're all rolling your eyes. But still...
Just tell us.
