Re: Drug Testing

[Linda Flemmer <bluwolf@earthlink.net>]

At that Chesapeake 80, the lady with the cup asked us if our horses had peed yet, and
we honestly answered that they had.  We'd stopped to kill time the last mile coming in
(it was an ECTRA  CTR).  They ate grass, peed, threatened to roll...  "Oh well."  she
said, walking off to find another victim.  She was getting very frustrated since nobody
would pee for her.  As soon as she walked away, a horse nearby let loose, followed by
what seemed like every horse in the place!  Poor lady didn't know what direction to
turn & missed that "Golden" opportunity!
