Meanwhile, back on Earth...

I\'m trying to track down what is really being done and not being done re testing, and this really is through the looking glass. So far there are conflicting accounts of whether it\'s 24 or 72 hour surveillance, whether there has been out of competition testing on the Oaks and Derby horses, whether testing will be any different than it usually is in Kentucky (because it worked so well at Keeneland), and whether they are confiscating syringes as they did at the BC. Right now NONE of those things are nailed down-- conflicting accounts are in print and being given by the person in charge of testing.

I gave the story to the TDN, they\'re trying to work it out. What a mess.

I think I have tracked down the answers to all of this, and they\'re good ones, as far as it goes. Testing/security will be about as thorough as it has been to date in this game, but in some ways the same as it was at Keeneland, so who knows, I may post details later or in the seminar.
