Default IEAH attempts to take the high road...
Iavarone says their horses will be "drug free" by October.

Why not "drug free" by July?

What exactly is "drug free"? No adequan? No Legend? No clenbuterol? No gastrogard? No bute? No banamine? No dantrium? No cortisone?

Watching ESPN this AM and IEAH is claiming that Big Brown's loose shoe caused him to lose because a nail probably was sticking his foot. I thought he was wearing glue on shoes.

What are the rules with Legend and Adequan? I realize anyone can give Adequan but wouldn't a vet be called to give Legend since it goes directly into the joint? Thanks. Deb

Any shot given at the racetrack has to be given by a vet. Legend does not have to be given in a joint. As far as i know there are no rules at all concerning them except that they cant be given on raceday and they would not be a useful in that manner anyway.

J. Edwards just stated on ESPN that this is a "Huge Deal" and could change the way things are done in the business. I'm hoping that she was just trying to sound positive, pardon the pun.

Yes. And in two years all the Corleone family businesses will be legitimate.

I'm curious Bruce, considering how sensitive you are to others saying things that you construe as anti-Arab ( and you may be right about this ), how is this not considered at least a quasi-slur against Italian-Americans?

I'm not sensitive. At least, like most people, not intentionally. It's not meant as a slur, though I'm sure it could be seen that way. In fact, if you put a picture of the Pacino character next to a picture of Iavarone and asked the question, "Who uses more hair product?" you'd probably see a 90/10 vote in one of the directions.

And I use plenty of hair product. I'm a Wildroot man.

Much ado about nothing, unless they are saying that they will no longer be using the "maintenance" medications like Gastroguard, Clenbuterol, Bute, adequan, etc. (many of which Dutrow references in the article), on their horses. As Chuck notes above, "hay, oats and water" is really a misnomer. They won't get any race-day medication; with the exception of Lasix, they can't now (and they will continue to use that drug). Isn't this them just publicly saying that they are going to play by the current (and future, as it relates to steroids) rules?

Same thing with respect to Iavarone saying that they will be "steroid free" by October 1. Hasn't the CHRB already said that horses running in the Breeders' Cup will have had to been off them for at least 30-45 days before the Breeders' Cup or they risk a steroids "positive"?

It is simply a PR move. A proactive move that is probably a wise business move but those horses wont be anymore drug free than anyone elses.
