About time... I've often wondered how some vets avoid getting sanctioned or losing their credentials for stuff like prescribing meds for healthy horses who don't have certain conditions, but use it for performance enhancement.

Very interesting articles on Whoa latest updates. A thoughtful perspective on why horse-racing is struggling. Thoroughbred Racing Commentary He hit the nail squarely on the head with the metaphor "A Madhatter's Tea Party." Also love the article on Hancock and his statement "I am a proud elitist" (translation: a horse's horsemen). Go WHOA!!!
