Let’s talk drug testing in horse racing....

I’m all for it! The more testing the better! Anything to level the playing field. Plus, I hate cheaters and despise dopers, especially those that are harming horses. BUT….

There has got to be some basic common sense and an allowable threshold for human/equipment error, environmental contamination or inadvertent exposure.

Let me explain…. because we are being gravely penalized for som**hing we did not do, nor had any control over!!

My trainer recently got a bad post-race blood test on a horse for ultra-trace, low levels of Methamphetamine. The urine test AND hair test were BOTH clean, but the blood tested at .2ng/ml. That level is equivalent to 1 part in 5 billion. Yes, I said billion!! Not only is that amount microscopic and would have had zero effect on the horse, but science tells us that if there were no metabolites and the urine was negative, then the horse was exposed to the m**hamphetamine within approx. 60 min of being tested. And at such a trace level there is absolutely no way possible it was purposely administered to the horse nor would it have impaired or enhanced the horse whatsoever. It was clearly environmental contamination.

Well, in that 60-minute window the horse is somewhere between the holding barn, the paddocks, the gates and the test barn being exposed to numerous racetrack employees that we have no control over. Any of whom could have inadvertently exposed the horse to the drug.

AND we weren’t the only ones to get positive tests for the same trace level drug. It happened to multiple trainers in that same timeframe. Trainers with zero history of bad tests, from different barns and even from haul-ins!!

AND since we found out about the bad tests, I have been told that some of the gate crew were recently fired due to drug testing and that multiple people on the track and specifically in the test barn were known to use m**hamphetamine. All hearsay, but m**h is a human recreational drug, that is way more prevalent than you think and it sure makes one question the environment!!

OH AND the PUNISHMENT!! The horse, that we had recently qualified to a futurity, that runs tomorrow, is now NOT ALLOWED to compete. He is on the vet list, unable to race for 180 days!! The owner is losing all his entry money for this race and the chance at the purse, plus breeder and owner awards which all adds up to a large monetary loss on his end. Not to mention any future purses he could of won plus the payments to futurities he had started paying his horse in at Retama and Lone Star. It is incredibly unfair and I am devastated for that owner.

My trainer is looking at a year suspension with a minimum fine of $10,000.

We followed all of the rules, did nothing wrong, and yet here we are. I’m torn between being terribly discouraged and insanely furious. This just may be the hill I die on or the reason I close down C3 Speed Horses for good!

Today is teetering on the edge of that cliff. I firmly believe in not letting the hard or bad days get to you - pick yourself up, dust off, and all that crap, but there are times you just want to say f*ck it, sell everything and move to an island or som**hing!!

Ok AQHA…. Really???

About a month and a half ago I sent the registration papers and transfer form in to AQHA to have this mare transferred into my name. Mind you, she is 16 years old (has been registered since a foal, is tattooed, was raced) and is obviously very gray. Well…. I found out today that AQHA is holding her papers until the DNA and color departments determine if she has excessive white. Ummmm…. What? Seriously?? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ugh, oh no!! Man down! Things come to a screeching halt around here with my ranger out of commission!! I use it constantly!! 😬😢

Thankfully, I have an awesome husband that can handle just about everything I throw at him! He’s the best 🥰 and I really really need to get him this shirt!! 😂🤪

I just checked Cee Cee Strawfly in foal to Eyesa Freighttrain B ($609k) 🥰😍

One of Cee Cee’s best runners, “This Train Flies” was by Freighttrain B, but the big guy was out of my price range so I went with this impressive son of his!!

Her last 2 colts, by Mr Jess Tex, are outstanding, but I felt I needed to change it up this year and I’ll admit I’m super excited for this cross!!
