First, they only tested the first 5 highest placed horses for testing. Then they did an out of competition test couple of days before the derby but did not test for permissible medication. The coach said they just buy the cream the vet recommends at the feed store and he doesn’t read the labels.
Wouldn’t you think that they would read the labels, do there own testing for everything along with the out of comp. testing. If they are checking for picograms, the testing needs to be done for every substance , not just illegal meds. And with frequent testing, maybe they can get more accurate withdrawal times. Take away the excuses.
