I was just coming on to say the same thing.
when art collector was DQed from his early race back in November for a drug positive, and a million other situaitons like this, it does seem that bettors should have some recourse.
However, wouldn't it just be better to work on getting drugs out of our sport to begin with, and get rid of the usual suspects as well?
Bettors trying to make money off a (dysfunctional) sport seems wrong to me.
Because 1) It doesn't help honest horsemen who work hard but are losing to the druggers, and 2) it sure doesn't help the horses, either.
Trying to solve the problem, once and for all, w/out PETA who has an agenda, would be my vote.
