If they go.. they'd better make sure he goes over there "clean". They are very strict in their drug policy...Not insinuating by any means, but he can't even have bute in his system. Would love to see him go over there tho and win. Won't hold my breath on it happening, but it appears that there is a chance. I say Go for it!!

True, the supposedly 'clean' japanese horse got a positive test in the Arc a few back. Deep Impact maybe?

Yes.. Had a miniscule amount, but was D.Q'd for too much bute if I remember correctly... Asmussen best tread carefully if he goes..I am sure he is aware of the guidelines and most likely not go....

was not bute, an antihistimine of some sort. Usually you can send samples to have them tested to ensure that you wont have a problem.

That damn Deep Impact was an impressive horse.

Can't believe he was beaten there.
