Jerry Bailey appeared Sunday on Capital OTB-TV\'s [upstate NY] \'TrackFacts\' with hosts Tom Amello and Nick Kling. Bailey discussed many topics -- but he also took time to briefly comment on drugs in the game -- something he covers in his new DVD series. Bailey\'s idea to address this issue: \"With all the statistics we have available in the Racing Form, and other forms of information -- all the numbers that help us break down races and decide who\'s going to win... You know how many races and starters a trainer has. You know how many starts, mounts, and wins and places and shows a jockey has... Well, why don\'t we list who treats these horses for these individual trainers? List the attending veterinarian. Now, if you do that -- you can keep vet standings. And let\'s keep vet standings. You\'re not pointing any fingers. You not saying this guy\'s doing anything wrong. But, you know what, give us the information and let us make our own conclusions.\"

spook-- some of us (not just me) have been pushing listing the vets for, oh, 10 years or so. Very happy to see Bailey get on board-- that might actually help get it done.
