The true story is that there was a fire in his barn. Luckily it happened when people were there and the horses were saved. There was a lot of smoke that horses inhaled. All were saved but given time to recover. THIS IS THE TRUE STORY NOT THE RUMORS

If it's listed as banned then the trainer is responsible, no arguing that

I would like to hear from a vet or someone with knowledge what this does for a racehorse,

as I read it is a de-wormer, something everyone has to treat their horse with

why is this particular one banned?

does it improve performance, or is deemed unhealthy for the horse

[Parked]

Must be they dont test for levamisole in N Y.
