From a horse owner (me again) I can tell you that there is nothing more maddening than watching your non-drugged runner come second to a hopped up horse racing out of a dirty stable --- further knowing that the 'testers' are in over their heads vis-a-vis these guys.
Hang out in the walking ring. It happens every day and it's obvious.
