Yikes. I dont think I could go along with something like that. At the very very least they would need a history of lung bleeds backed up by a vet certificate before you could let a horse on the track with that in its system. Sounds like you guys are in for a whole lot of stumbling around in the dark soon on the whole thing. Soon enough, its not backing the good horses or the good trainer, but the ones that whose trainers arent the kind of person you could trust to be 100% honest. Thats one scary can o' worms going on over there. I don't envy you.  |
