[honest & balanced terry]

Two time winner of the All-American Futurity, one of the biggest races in QH racing, banned 10 years for demorphin positives. It was the most the NM racing commission could hand out.

Yeesh.  That's how much he cared for his horses.  Finally, 10 years.  In my opinion it should have been for life.

Did any of you watch the big quarter race a while back?

Mr Hubbard the owner of the track made a comment then that his racetrack wants life time bans now with all this going on and if a guy like hubbard says you cant race here ever again well we can only hope others follow the lead Mr. Hubbard is starting.
Now the unfortuante thing in all this how many horses were destroyed??

We must have drug free racing.

But heres the other thing Mr Basset Vet should be thrown so far from any race track they need to go after him also.
