It turns out that the destructive and widespread doping of racehorses has become as much a concern for the $2 bettor as it is for the Jockey Club, the sport’s most influential group, which is urging far stronger safeguards to repair racing’s credibility. The club’s new opinion poll finds that as bettors handicap their choices, nearly four out of five ponder the possibility of illegal drug use . . .

Hi Whirl,
It's about time they finally brought something to the table that makes sense. Gamblers, handicapping trainers who they feel are using drugs. Yep that should do it....I've never met a gambler who wasn't aware of the reasons why they were losing their rent and eating money on a daily basis. The game is bound to clean up now. TJ
