Aussiebreno, Im an owner and i know a bit about the day in / day out of a stable and horses. I guess i did work in one from when i was 12, so i should know a little. I think all owners should take the time to head down to the stable and have a look at the day to day runnning of it, Get an understanding of the terminology that trainers use. I ring my trainers all the time and even flown over to nsw for a couple of days to see the horses work/trial. I would hate to pay a bill and not understand if i was getting ripped.

But with all this talk on performance enhancing drugs. I don't like seeing them buzzed off their brain. But can anyone really say they are using performance enhancing drugs if it hasn't returned a positive. We all know what they test for and there is always new stuff out there. What about Cobra venom ? Maybe that snake just happen to give a little bite mixed with a little bit of water accidently in america ? Do you think thats made its way to Aus yet ? Most likely.......

Lance is just going to have to deal with what ever comes his way!!!!!
