Sight-- I have mentioned several of the trainers here over the years. Last summer I was sitting at Del mar with probably the top pro player (of those not using software), a sometimes poster here. We came up with 30 trainers who were moving horses up either currently or recently (in the case of California, or in one case incarceration). Those were just at the major tracks we bet, which does not include West Virginia, both because the pools aren\'t big enough, and so many horses who go there run suspiciously good or bad.
Since that time there have been several names that can be added to the list. I would add that since my friend makes his living betting, he makes it his business to know when somebody starts employing Allday (as happened late last year with someone who had a very good Gulfstream meet), and he sometimes has factual information about someone I\'m not on to yet.
I don\'t know about West Virginia testing as a factual matter, I\'m working on the major tracks first. But I\'ll tell you what I know about a track that recently hosted a big GI and several other stakes. They don\'t blood test for Clenbuterol, they TCO2 test \"a few\" horses (their term), they take blood for that post-race, which as you know is against protocol and useless because it gives much lower readings (and that\'s aside from the issue I have raised here several times that a horse can be given alkalyzing agents and not be \"positive\" because of the requisite levels being so high). That\'s just the two most common drugs-- no EPO testing, of course, that\'s expensive. Think they test for designer drugs?
