The point many are missing on the legal race day and in between legal race day stuff is simply without them the game would virtually be history. Many less racing days, much smaller fields and added economic pressures on the owners, trainers, workers and race track operators.
It's nice to have a purist attitude but without some type of help these animals would race maybe half as much and racing at the main tracks would suffer dramatically.A common sense approach to the whole drug issue supported by strong testing and lifetime banishment for serious offences would eliminate a great deal of this problem.The backbone of the disingenuous/incompetent race track operators is racings major stumbling block.
