They don't mix, of course, and no one in his right mind who was trying to win the race would give his horse a human sedative. But what about an allegedly crooked vet who treats many more than one of the entrants. I'm talking about the one & only Alex Harthill, the man many say is the person who really decides who is going to win the big race. To this day Jimmy Croll maintains that Holy Bull was given Halcion so that he would lose, & wouldn't you know it, there never was a post race urine test. And as you will see if you read Billy Reed's excellent article at http://snitch.myiglo.com/000030.html, there is circumstantial evidence to suggest that Harthill was involved in that & a no. of other Derby incidents. Ironically, in the Derby you may have to be more concerned about drugs which would cause your horse to lose than drugs which are supposed to improve your chances of winning.
