Excellent Bloodhorse Op-Ed by Barry Irwin that I missed. His suggestion about the vets and trainers having to buy drugs through the track is an interesting one. I would add another-- publish all CO2 tests, every race, every day. It's information the public has a right to, and then at least certain trainers will have to explain how their runners are averaging 35 when a horse can't break 30 naturally (the threshold for sanctions in most places is 37).
