DOMINANT Victorian trainer Peter Moody is miffed by suggestions that leading trainers are less likely to face drug testing because they are too important to racing, reports the Melbourne Herald Sun.
It says: Allegations emerged last week that several of the nation's top stables were using the same illicit performance-boosting drug that has riddled cycling.
Moody, the winner of the past two Victorian metropolitan trainers' premierships, said people had pinpointed him as one of the alleged culprits.
"The top stables have their horses drug tested more than any others," he said yesterday.
"We have had more winners tested than any other stable I would have thought, yet you hear this sort of nonsense and unfortunately people accept it without question."
Moody suggested that if a trainer kept winning (as he has done with 83 city winners in season 2010-11 and 103.5 last season), people thought the trainer somehow had a secret advantage. And they also became suspicious if he didn't win as often.
