shows social media can torch even the most honest effort.

sour grapes, most likely, mostly because Casie is a woman.
So are they claiming that she gave the horse some super-secret illegal supplement that wont be discovered by drug testing? Really?
yes that is the claim.
sk_pacer, thanks for replying… hard from the outside looking in to know if there is something behind an allegation/rumor such as this or, as if you said, just sour grapes 
I think they are saying it will take 8-10 weeks for the tests to come back.
It’s hard to figure this out…allegations were made about a text message Casie made and someone got hold of somehow…can’t just go about willy nilly making allegations or even comments. The biggest complainer in this had 2 horses in the final.

Yknow…I don’t know what did or didn’t happen but I read the following article, that actually shows the text in question:

“Any time between line 830-1030 range when it’s clear saftly (sic) get his treatments into him.”
Unfortunate wording at best, suspicious at worst.
I read that same article the other day. gonna have to wait and see

Can texts from an illegally stolen phone really be used to prove anything though?
And last time I checked yogurt wasn’t super secretive or illegal?
Yogurt may not be illegal but, if it is flavoured and sweetened, there may be components that do test and testing is so sensitive now that even a trace amount of something that may be construed as a performance enhancer will show up - a few years ago, a horse tested positive for theobromine simply because a groom ate a chocolate bar before bridling a horse.
Don’t know if the phone was stolen and gone through or left where someone could go through it. No chatter on fb that I have seen
Update from today

Yogurt is not banned in any state as far as I know. Hopefully they read the label to confirm there is nothing in the yogurt that would cause a positive test. Maybe they go organic? Although I can’t imagine giving a horse anything that close to a race - my trainer’s barn does not allow peppermints, treats, anything on race day.
Some states allow oral supplements or treatments (ie windy) on race day at the track in the receiving barn, some do not.
If the horse received a prohibited or banned substance, then it would show up in the test results, and it did not. And if yogurt will make a horse will by 10 lengths and break world records, I’m heading straight to the grocery store!!!

I have been gulping down yogurt since I was a kid with no quickening of my physical prowess. Don’t really see the issue here. Maybe the naysayers should be taking that jellyfish extract being advertised on TV to support memory and cognition. Yogurt would be good for them too. It would regulate their bowel movements which appear to obstruct their thinking on this race.
