Question - Why are we reading about all of these positives there only with harness horses? Does the ORC have the same testing procedures for thoroughbreds as it does for standardbreds?

Thanks.

All these positives just happened since late December and early January.
Our thoroughbred season finished in early December, so I'm thinking that the positives are due to a more enhanced testing process that has been implemented (testing for more drugs) that came about after the thoroughbred season.
The other thing is that there might be a drug that some vet or vets fooled around with lately and they were unaware that part of a concoction had aminorex in it.
