Hopefully, possibly, maybe? the test for EPO is getting better ?

"Blood samples drawn (post race) from XXXXXXX XXX XXXX were tested and found to contain Darbepoetin Alpha (DPO) this is a class 1 drug with an A penalty(one year suspension and $10,000 fine)."

This misfit must have missed the half life window. I hope testing has caught up, I’m guessing he gave it to close to race day

I will believe that if Many Yonkers trainers get busted.
It is weird that the third place horse got tested. Was someone tipped off?
