| JimG 6/15/2012 5:03:38 PM | It appears to me there are not enough sound horses to fill races written by racing secretaries across North America. The time has come to clean up the drugs out of horse racing, thereby reducing the number of horses available to run. This will result in the closure of tracks that probably should have been closed a decade ago. While I hate to see anybody out of work, I think for the long term survival of the game, and to finally put the integrity of the sport first, it will be necessary. No longer does wrong doing travel under the radar and/or by word of mouth, or possibly by the local news. It is out there now for everyone to see at a click of a button on a computer. It is past time for track management to take a stand for the good of the game and all its participants. Jim ~Edited by: JimG on: 6/15/2012 at: 5:03:38 PM~

Warning, change in test led to spate of Dermorphin positives: http://www.drf.com/news/warning-change-test-led-spate-dermorphin-positives --quote: "According to an official with knowledge of the positives, Oklahoma has detected at least 15 post-race positives of dermorphin. Ten of those positives came from one trainer, the official said.--end quote I'm curious to see just how widespread usage of this stuff has become. -jp .
