Mall:

They tried the security barn idea in Illinois some years ago. I don't recall if it was 24 or 48 hours before race day, but the windstorm it created was truly unbelievable. If memory serves, after a few weeks, trainers boycotted the entry box and it was ended, but don't quote me on it, LOL.

With regards to EPO, it's understandable one wouldn't want to assume anyone guilty with recently claimed animals, but if ownership/trainer haven't changed in 90+ days, as is the case with most allowance/stakes horses, a positive test should be awarded with banishment from the sport, simple. If it be high profile trainers, so be it.

May they all come home safely!
