This appeared today in The Blood-Horse, from Marty Maline, the employee that heads the Kentucky racing board.
Marty Maline, executive director of the Kentucky Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association, said some horsemen believe having blood drawn from every horse in every race can be inconvenient and detrimental to performance when horses are sent to or retained in test barns.
"You can get into a situation where some horses won't put out their best performance when they're put in a different environment," Maline said. "(Milkshakes) to my knowledge haven't been an issue with horsemen in Kentucky. Have we even had a positive here in Kentucky?"
Well, sports fans, there you have it--straight from the horse's mouth: Kentucky does not have a milkshake problem.
