Patrick I know they test winners 2nd,3rd and any abnormal finish horse but the cost of staying ahead of the super trainers and what they use is pie in the sky as far as I've been told by a commission vet, each state or province cannot afford it. The biggest joke is the allergic reaction to lasix which the horse doesn't perform and it is rampant in the Standardbreds. He told me that the hours prior to a race when lasix is administered after all the pre-race miles before the race is enough time for the reaction to appear yet nothing is done and the horse races sub-par. And who pays for that, we do the uninformed public. As I have said many times before. If the line in the sand is the money the greed will be all over that line.
