156 race horses scratched for possibly consuming banned substance

lol.

Will they go after the drug dealers?

J racing as always been banana shaped!

Another day in Japan, another case of corruption. It should be a good weekend for the punters with all the scratchings although, no doubt the bookies have lowered the odds considerably.

Cowboy films never had problem with the horses. Those poor horses falling on the ground so hard it pains. The only reason i don't like to watch cowboy movies.

Although i have never ever betted on horse racing but next year i will try in famous horserace in HK, not in Japan.

I smell an inside job ? The old Fashioned nobbling the opposition...

"According to the association, the additives, imported from abroad, contained a performance-enhancing substance called theobromine, a stimulant that also strengthens cardiac activities."

Love how they had to add the "Imported from abroad", but forget the "used domestically".

Sounds like a plot to get these horses banned and thin the herd.
