[QUOTE="kjones, post: 317415, member: 4533"] The marks on the horses neck sound like what Ive heard called a bug. I t uses a 9 volt battery, and the jocks keep them concealed in their gloves. As for giving shots a few hours before a race, it may or may not be a legal shot. Its possible for it to be Lasix which is used for a bleeder, and is legal. Or possibly calcium which is also legal. Trainers are usually secretive about their methods even when legal. And yes it does happen at the big tracks, probably more so than the small ones because the purse isn't worth the consequences at the small ones. Getting back to the testing barn. If you were to try an switch the horses there you would have to pay off the steward there. The horses have their tattoo checked in the paddock before a race, and then again in the test barn. So I think it would be unlikely a switch occurred. Now jockeys holding back their mount in a race, a think that happens also. Ive got a feeling we would agree on the 2yr issue and that could start a whole nother thread here. [/QUOTE]
