Christmas Eve Racing stories

The Toronto Sun continues to follow up stories on harness drivers/trainers and some thoroughbred people who have been suspended for using drugs in racing. It’s a good news/bad news situation – readers know the tracks are trying to clean things up but you can hear them still saying – see I knew there were drugs in racing!
