Excellent post.
Few breed to race (look at the popular stallions, those are sale results horses). Few buy to race. Few make money racing. Meds are needed to max out profits over the short race career. Breeders need 'roids to get the biggest bucks at young-stock sales, as that's where the money is made - before and after the race track.
Support the gambler and public = making horse racing a more financially viable industry. Only then will racing medication controls be taken more seriously, I believe.
