Probably not.  Horses that finish in the money are all tested  following the 
race (blood and urine) and any other horse that the stewards want  to test 
(say a favorite betting interest doesn't run true to form).  The  horses don't 
return to their own barns, they go to a separate barn, watched the  entire time 
by officials while their grooms bathe them and walk them until the  samples 
are received, split and signed for. The fines, suspensions and  penalties are 
enough to make most trainers hire night watchmen.  The tests  are sensitive 
enough that the caffeine in chocolate and coffee will give you a  positive test.

I would  love to see the results of the blood test on the horse. I bet there 
were some  performance enhancers .
