First, I learn something every day. A work out has to be x fast to be published? Did not know that. I just posted about works in another thread. To me, the fact that a horse worked is the most important factor. A 4 in :50 work for Baffert at Santa Anita is slow, a 4 in :50 work for Broberg at Delta is fast. Publish the work, let the handicapper decide. My understanding is you trained on the East coast. A area that I did not concentrate on, so I would have a hard time judging a work there. If it was at Delta, Fairgrounds, or Evd and I knew who you were. I would be able to give a judgment. If that work was for a horse trained by Henry Johnson, and it won, I would not bat a eye. I also tend to agree, involving the government is not the best thing to do, and probably the worst thing that could happen. Horse racing is not a state by state sport anymore. By allowing horses to ship to a different state, horse racing acknowledges this. But it is run that way. Drug testing, work outs, timing issues, and a lot of administrative issues regarding who can train, or own a horse, could be done by one group on a national level. And be done a lot more effectively than it is done now. Getting the different states and organizations to agree an anything would be a accomplishment. But getting the different organizations to see that involving the government is the worst that could happen, and organizing on a national level by themselves is the best thing for everyone involved, might be the way to go.
