Whatever happened to out-of-competition testing?

[Dark Horse]

Just wondering. Is it even happening?

I would like to see the horses of ten trainers tested, without prior knowledge, every single week of the year.

Or is the only time we hear something when Peta does an undercover story?

I don't wish to stir things up in a negative way, but would it be ok to have a list of highly suspect trainers on this site? A list that everybody can refer to if they wish.

Tested for what?

I don't like this idea.
You could call it "The List Of REALLY REALLY Good Trainers"

Not sure what Brereton Jones would say about out of competition testing, but his recent interview with Thoroughbred Racing Commentary is interesting. I especially agree with this quote:

"... Lasix is not the culprit that some people have tried to paint it as... We’ve got people motivated to really do something positive to help the horse industry, and if we expend that energy on Lasix, I personally think that would be a mistake, because I think we’ve got to put the main focus on strengthening the penalties for doping horses.”

Here's a link to the entire interview if you are interested - Brereton Jones interview (https://www.thoroughbredracing.com/articles/jones-either-we-eliminate-problem-or-problem-going-eliminate-us)
