A DQ free Derby would be good.  Change things up.

Unless they freeze the samples for 10 years as USADA would require, there is no way to know now about drugs. 

Everyone that ever got caught like Lance Armstrong tested "clean"......add a few more names to that list.....that's because they know what they are *doing*.   Cheaters are cheaters, but they ain't dummies. 

100% correct, WT.  I have my private suspicions about a few of these derby trainers having some top shelf chemists moving around molecules to keep their marinara sauce undetectable.

The reason the USADA gave up trying to come to an agreement with HISA had to do with how long samples could be frozen.  This is not a point of debate for USADA because, as you know, they are a signatory of the WADA and WADA prescribes a 10 year freeze of samples.

I'm all for HISA, BTW, just hope their new drug/medication testing partner is up to snuff.

Fingers crossed on that.

In memory of My Friend Jack who for giggles from 1973 I know for sure thru 2004, might of been longer

Rob;I am going to play that oneo

I wouldn't bet it with your money.

It's just a gimmick.  First rodeos.  It is Yakteen's first rodeo.  

In the real world, I intend to make one win bet.  That's it.  

Good luck to you, too, pianot.
