Old Gary D has a trainer's license for rent. $500,000 for one and a half years, plus another $1 million cash deposit they will lose if I get a positive test.

Nobody in Nevada can or ever could train a horse like old Gary D. can laddies. Nobody!

Before the big ole congratulatory back slapping occurs, I'd like to know the horseman's story..........I know this shocks you.

What is the class?  3?  I can't find it.

I take it, it is a nasal spray............we used to use a special mask to administer nasal sprays all the time, especially for allergies..........were these horses under a veterinarian care and the withdraw time got screwed up?

Who really thinks making such a big "hip-hip-horay-we-got-the-bad-guys" public announcement is actually helping the sport?

Anyone reading this use any kind of nasal spray this week then go to work?  Did you feel like a cheater?

Perspectives in this industry are totally slanted.

Of course it doesn't help the sport.  But what hurts more is cheating in the first place.  Are we to be mad at the fact that they got caught?  If you see a headline that says "Police catch buglar", would your reaction be "Damn Police, they are giving our city a bad name"  Sure, we all know at times it can be a timing thing and maybe some animals take longer then normal for the drugs to clear their system.  However, as pointed out, most are multiple offenders with a long rap sheet.

...is that 'one step ahead' or 9 months behind?

That is fast for any government agency!!!

hal,
       you don't honestly believe that PR horse s-h-i-t?

Of course not, but it is a start to be only a few steps behind the cheaters.

Sorry Hal........I see no correlation between robbing someone of personal belongs and a trainer treating a horse.........this wasn't a stimulant. 

Show me these long rap sheets and I'll show you where about 99% of them shouldn't even be public knowledge.

What are the long term side effects of giving Oxymetazoline to horses?  I know it is against the rules and people should be punished for breaking the rules but I don't understand why it would be against the rules.

[AmyHollar]

They don't know.......the racing commission is too busy cheering themselves over their big drug bust that is saving the industry. 

[pezz97]

I am curious if this was in another state ( Pa, Nj etc) what the penalty would be? Cause as we all know, every state is different and IMO, that is the problem. Sure seems pretty severe to me to get 6 months to 2 years for nasal spray.

We routinely stuck Vicks in horses noses in the paddock and rubbed them with dmso and
Cortisone. Now even that is not allowed. I'm calling bullshit, these douchebags are regulating themselves out of jobs. Typical government clowns...
