Asmussen's 5000th
Passion Rules in today's 7th at Woodbine pushed Steve Asmussen over the top to his 5000th career victory as a trainer. Congrats to him

I write things which are neutral. It is the psychological evaluation of readers who make those subjective estimates.

Hard to set his actual number in stone with the possibility of pending drug positives.

But Assman has picked up steam in southern Ontario as the year progresses.

Good point, but one has to wonder how many days out non detectable potions work these days and how much shipping goes on to and from the farm and back to the track.

There's a rumor he will no longer go by just Steve Asmussen but Steve Asmussen sponsored by Merck. His new silks will have a crucible on them.

This is a relief. For a moment I was expecting to read about his 5000th positive drug test.

Maybe because there are illegal drugs in his horses' urine samples? Just a guess.

those tests are subjective and can come up with positives on any give day. i am not sure about the ones that have the lydocane in it, but as far as clen goes they are testing for levels. jurisdictions allow clen 48 hours before the race i think nyra is even further out so less chance of getting higher levels there.
i wish there was no such thing as drugs, the horses would run better and last longer at the same time. people post on here about drugs that make the horse go faster yet no one can tell me what drugs they are. assmussens drugs have been for pain and breathing as far as i can see, not rocket juice or epogen.
