As I read the excerpt below I couldn\'t help but think repeatedly what would miff say to Janney about the portion that is in bold.

From the Article:

In a similar vein, Stuart Janney III, the vice chairman of The Jockey Club and the chairman of the Thoroughbred Safety Committee, announced at the Round Table that The Jockey Club had approved a project to award $250,000 annually for the next two years to the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium to implement an out-of-competition testing program that would focus on the horses competing in racing's most prominent races.
The intent would be to look for blood-doping drugs or other performance-enhancing substances that are difficult to detect when used long before a race.

"It can be a powerful deterrent, and in our sport, it is a perfect bookend to post-race sampling," Janney said. "We know that new technologies are capable of creating long-lasting performance-enhancing effects when administered weeks prior to the competition, and there are substances that leave no traces or residues detectable during normal post-competition testing. We know that."

Fair,

File that with the tooth fairy,sasquash,lochness monster et al.When they catch someone using that stuff, you have a story.Conspiracy idiots love to talk, no evidence.Maylin and others warned years ago about \"what\'s out there\" asked for money to fight it, declined,no one wanted to pay for it.

Janney,esp Phipps, recently tossed out of NY racing by Cuomo,railed for years about cheating and despite their substantial influence, got little done.Took their act to the Jockey Club, a toothless tiger, filled with elitists with parochial views.Its ok that their Orb is vacationing in Fair Hills hyperbaric chamber and racing on lasix,which they stump against.

There were caution flags about undetectable designer drugs for years, Jockey Club, venues did nothing.More old news.

Pletcher won 4 today, must be the white Mercedes hitting them with lochness juice,it\'s undetectable.

Fair,

Another quote from the Clueless Clown you referenced. The disconnect between this elitist and his agenda driven pals and those of us that bet $10 billion pa could not be more evident.Janney and alike do not understand that the 20k maiden claimer on Wednesday at Del Mar may be an opportunity for a life changing score for some player and is pari passu with the integrity of the Kentucky Derby.


\"While horseplayers may feel that all races should be subjected to out-of-competition testing, Janney said Graded stakes "are the most important races in the consumer market and with the most prominent horses competing, these races are potentially the most impactful to the Stud Book\"

The Clueless Clown, in his own words!
