Bottom line is that the industry is doing this half assed like a lot of the stuff they do.

I’m fine with some therapeutics in training, but I’m anti anything that will impact races, risk horses/riders, and anti race day medications. I think it’s better for perceptions of the sport that way and there’s at least some chance it will help the breed long term if the more chronic bleeders are less successful and don’t make it to stud as easily (not sure if any research has been done in that area). But we do need good data so we know what’s going on and can care for the horses properly. Gamblers also need it.
