Mike, all I meant was that works - which typically take place on private gallops - are less public than they are here. Otherwise, I agree wholeheartedly.

Was not taking exception with anything you posted.The attitude of the KHRC is par for the course,Public Relations first, cover their a--es second and f--k the players,always!

That\'s a valid point, with trainers not stabling on track grounds, but having their own operations and traveling to meets.  

But once they are on the track grounds, they are under much more defined scrutiny than in the US, IMO.

They lost a 60k win bet (the entry fee) and the public bettors lost millions (albeit, mostly to other bettors)

And no one will be called to task.

I feel they did a lot right overall with testing on the day(s) based on BC final figure\'s imo . But the situation with this incident is ironic and it really hurts racing .. .
