Racing departments all over the country complain of short fields and horse shortages. There are no 'seasons' anymore. There are too many sore horses and too many burned-out trainers. I realize not everybody can do that because it is a function of who you train for, but it would be better if there were some significant breaks. Medication issues are also high on the Sahadi slate.
Positive tests linger in the legal system without resolution.
People claim 'contamination' and nothing gets done. That's bad for the sport. If a horse needs a lot of medication, what he really needs is a rest. Allowable medications should be kept to a minimum. Please read our Privacy Policy .
