Street,

Once again, Steve Allday has not been banned.Dont'know exactly what is he guilty of besides the innuendo of many who read a little something, know nothing with certainty, and post as if they do.Don't know that much about Steve Allday except that many prominent trainers/owners entrust some very pricey animals to his care when there is a problem.

TAP has stated his thoughts on the illegal stuff on more than one occasion.There are many people (trainers/owners) who are extremely jealous of TAP, and suggest his success is mainly the product of cheating.If that is the case, he has found a way not to get caught.A few negative 5's or 6's prove zip in the case of that barn.There are actually a few gifted animals that can run very fast without illegal drugs, regardless of who trains them.

I do know that if I was still in the horse business, had a horse in trouble, and Steve Allday had success treating it, I would INSIST that he be called in. Why not? You guys that are crusading never received training/vet/shipping bills @ $30k per month when the barn was going badly for a prolonged period.Yes, catch and banish the move up trainers but without between race vet care and maintenance meds, there would be no racing as we now know it.

The uniformed crusaders have no idea what they are wishing for.
