No need to worry about that. Whoever it was has been out of the game for a long time by now!   ngc3

Wow. That is the first time I am hearing The Queen Bea was clean. Both literally and figuratively.

Wow. That is the first time I am hearing The Queen Bea was clean. Both literally and figuratively.
My father recounted tales of Queen Bea, describing her management of an operation that would likely have drawn the ire of PETA. The horses were never blanketed, even in the biting cold of a barn stripped of windows and Chicago's winters are brutal. Yet this did not seem to concern Bea. She trained them on frozen tracks and then immediately turned them out into paddocks, where clouds of steam would rise from their bodies.She pushed them to their limits jogging them on a treadmill until they were exhausted. No harnesses were ever cleaned-- everything was simply tossed into a trailer in disarray before she departed. They only encountered a brush upon the track, where the  dirt was brushed off to fit the harnesses.

Her horses achieved victory in various competitions astonishing everyone and she was able to drive them as skillfully as any man. She showed no restraint using the whip—contemporary judges would likely have levied fines against her. The manner which she and her remarkable success on the track -led to skepticism among detractors, and even among neutral observers, regarding whether her horses were "chem induced." However, my  father heard from several workers employed that those had never been subjected to needles or tubes during their time on the property, receiving only hay and feed, she did not skimp on this.. Her methods contradicted everything one might read in "Care and Training of the Trotter."
