Either You Have A Problem or You Have Another Problem
A lot has been written about cheating in horse racing. Mostly this is about using banned substances to improve the performance of horses. I'm not a horse pharmacist but there really is a need to make sure that the use of performance enhancing drugs by trainers is stopped. This is more than just a noble idea. If the sport is going to survive anybody connected with using these drugs needs to be banned from the sport. Another noble idea, but in a sport where horses and trainers follow various racing circuits in many different states, each with their own laws, and abilities to enforce their own rules and some very muddled ideas about due process, the system is going to have some very serious holes.
Even people in the industry seem to talk out of both sides of their mouth.
The publisher of Track Magazine publishes a press release announcing some new security measures at the race track where the All American Futurity and All American Derby are run.
JM Miracle, who won the All American Futurity this year was in distress after the race, was vanned off, no pictures in the winners circle on race day. JM Miracle recovered and pictures were taken the next day.
R.D. Hubbard wants all the horses running in quarter horse racing's signature race to be kept on track where there can be more security and control of the horses. Those rules will be in effect next year.
Mr. Hudson said he was absolutely disgusted about all the unfounded rumors about the All American Futurity circulating on the Internet.
Handicapping the vets, pharmacists off track trainers and jockeys with buzzers isn't what this sport is about and the clean up needs to proceed.
