Doping in Ireland

[horses4courses]

Case involving a small Irish trainer was uncovered five years back.
The problem now is that the industry seems to be dragging it's heels
on how to police it. Sound familiar?

Nitrotain. Don't think they could have thought of a better name for a steroid.

Funny.

Well, you can bet on this.
The average race bettor cares little to nothing about them.
In fact, there is more concern with trying to figure out who
currently might have "the magic", than combating the problem.

The more I look into Euro racing, the more I'm convinced that there's just as many rascals over there as there are here. Even the queens horses got flagged for positives a few years ago at Ascot.

Obviously bettors have no way to combat the problem. They play the hand they are dealt. More and more are choosing not to play. It isn't only drugs of course, there are many reasons.
