Ben Hur.
Sorry--Ben Hur lived in a time where horses were given all manner of Performance enhancers--like wine and opiates."materia medica" they called it. I dont believe any horse that would have been in a competition event --would have passed todays testing.
Ok I'll ask. Many young females lead the horses out..many are daughters, girlfriends, best friends...not all but many.They work VERY hard.The question: How many of these young innocents ARE PRIVY to loading up their best equine friend or overhear of it or are knowledgable of it as they get their cut of a board hit' or win?Therefore....is any horseman or horsewoman old or young capable to be in the dark about horse 'medical adjustments'?Would ANY groom or asst trainer BLOW THE WHISTLE for the welfare of their animal?If the answer is; shhhhhh it's always been like this, then Asst trainer or groom or stable friends should be suspended too from the grounds while their big daddy or mama trainer gets cuffed.And how about drivers who are fully knowledgable too...where is there suspension for allowing the steed in their on track care to perform with &$#@ in their system.
