I\'m certainly not going to name any names, esp. without a shred of hard evidence, but if you follow California racing, say, for the past few decades, you\'ve all seen what I\'ve seen; again and again, certain trainers\' horses defy the laws of equine science and physiology with their freakish performances. When do these guys meet the FBI agents??? Are they too big to fail??? Have they successfully covered their tracks--I personally suspect the testing has been rigged for a long time. But, even more importantly, if you are continuing to wager, how should we evaluate their horses? My guess, and it is just a guess at this time, is that we may see a drop off in performance from some prominent barns out west. Time will tell. I would proceed cautiously.
