Looks like a couple of meth positives.  I’m sure Ohio will make them disappear or last as long as Engblom.

Sounds like the old groom tainting [possibly rightfully so] Don't see him giving his horse meth.

It’s definitely not meth as a drug addict would have on him, it’s more a derivative of it, and yes these trainers are giving similar things to these horses.  For a horse to come up positive for a groom pissing in his stall, the groom would almost have to pee in an empty water bucket.  I don’t believe a couple pieces of straw would do it.  But that’s just my opinion.  But I also believe nothing will come of this.  Never does for the big barns.  He didn’t miss a day after being arrested for assaulting his wife.  That’s a nice look for the sport.  Guy would still be out in the MLB!

I would be hard-pressed to call him extremely professional, at least from a clean racing standpoint. Can't speak to his personal life.

 After seeing his mugshot recently - it may have been derivatives from his own system

Adderall shows up as a meth positive result also. So I was told.
