There is one good way to get drugs out of racing -- stop wagering on races at tracks where race day drugs are allowed and tell everyone you know who bets at those tracks to stop, too. That's what I have done.
I stopped wagering altogether for a couple of years until I started wagering on HK races. Full fields every race. You don't have to try to handicap which trainers are giving their horses drugs. They race two days per week and have a 6-8 week break in July-August. It is downright civil. I won't be betting for those 6-8 weeks. Saratoga would be fun to bet. It's a great track with a great tradition, but as long as drugs are allowed I won't bet the races there.
I seriously suggest you stop wagering for 30 days -- for your own mental health.
Personally, I feel that if you can't stop wagering on horse races for 30 days then you might be a compulsive gambler. ANYONE should be able to stop wagering for 30 days. If you can't, then you probably have a gambling problem.
It's the same with booze. If you can't go 30 days without alcohol you're probably an alcoholic.
I got this idea from a psychiatrist who wrote about trading futures. The first thing he said is that you MUST stop trading futures for 30 days. If you can't stop then you are a gambler, not an investor.
