In order to get nailed on something like this you would truly have to assume it would be passed on by a groom?? How the fuck could you think you would get away with something like that.  On a another note I noticed a ton of positives already this year most are in Ohio

Change of subject, but did you see Gabe Prewitt will be calling the races on an interim basis starting on Feb 25th? So glad, that guy calling the races currently is so bad.

Rhoades made over 300k in 6 weeks (batting almost .400) this year at NFLD, knowing that he had a meth positive coming. Hubris maybe?

Supposedly the same groom caused both positives at NFLD. Don’t be a Petrelli and take 2nd hand track rumors at face value though.

Was the amount in the system even enough to be performance enhancing for a horse. If there was a test for epo and he got it I would not be shocked but meth I don't think so

I don't think anyone thinks he's clean. But common sense would know meth isn't going through the test!  Again if meth was some secret he was doing I would assume he would have many more positives considering he dominates Northfield

One year suspension or, 60 days if you don't challenge. That shows how weak the Commission's case is.
 This may go like all other cases go when you have a high profile defendant with money to mount a sustained appeal. 3 years from now, it will be case dismissed.

It says APPEAL
and, if you appeal, you gotta serve 365 days.  -  so, apparently, these guys at Northfield don't want to sit out for a year ? is that correct ?

actually, what does Meth do to the horses?  I've seen the people on TV that have been making it is a motel room  -  and, they look pretty rough ..

He has a good eye for talented grooms, Do you know how much piss that horse ate? This is such a piece of crap. Did the groom get tested, fined, suspended or is this just his excuse. Whatever happened to trainer resposibility? If the groom pissed in the stall so it's ok to have meth in your horse. Bullshit

The same groom must have stopped by Herman Hagermans barn. A designer stimulant just a little to much meth.

Has the groom been suspended? Who the fuck would have a meth head take paddocks. Oh yeah, nobody knows who's a meth head. Who ever it was needs to be removed from the paddock and tested every time they come to the paddock.

You can spot a Meth head a mile away- rotten teeth and bad facial skin complexion. That could be have of Ohio though.

I don't think those two were using Adderall on their horses but who knows maybe they were. Maybe microdosing? It works for the other stuff. This pg and ng testing is gonna end horse racing and most other drug tested sport. It's possible the groom popped a pill, hit a pipe and then put a tongue tie on. maybe had pill in pocket all day. It's even possible anybody in the state barn did the same thing.

These could be Adderall transfers. I'm not a100% sure but I was told it will show as a Meth positive! In an environment where caretakers are racing 2 or 3 a night, this is possible for transfer from putting a tongue tie on. Just sayin!

But yes it’s possible it’s from Adderall but realistically…. Most likely meth whether on accident or on purpose.

if the associations and commissions refuse to enforce common sense regulation ... the greedy cheaters will continue this short-sighted pillaging and make it impossible for states to subsidize the sport.

What's disgusting is the fools allowing their livelihoods to be destroyed because they refuse to turn in the cheaters.  Every single body knows who's cheating.  Look in Ohio = who is stupid enough to believe that a couple guys are really 3 times better than the rest of the trainers.  3 x's Better than Burke and Virgil ?  Yet not a soul will demand action.  Nobody will claim off the cheaters.  Horses winning every time out and still nobody will claim ....

This juvenile behavior that requesting fairness is just not 'cool' shows just how stupid the people racing must be.  Reality is that people not being cool is causing them to be fools.

No argument from me at all.  Fact is the folks that fail to snitch are giving away their income by competing v. the cheaters on an unfair race.

So what are the other trainers supposed to say we can't win because we know they are cheating.  You need proof the commission is in charge of that unless you have first hand knowledge of what they use or when they inject the horses with the dope you can't do anything.  They would just be another trainer sore because they get beat. Speculation isn't proof.  Now if the commission wanted to set up secret cameras in their barns to see what is going on they might find something.  There is 1 investigator for all 7 racetracks in Ohio.

People have to band together and form a committee to address the commission. Until the right person steps forward and enlists backers to support a movement for change, everything will remain status quo.
