I wonder if his bringing a syring to the D-barn could have prevented IWR from even running. He got caught over the Bay Shore colt but did he have one there for IWR too?
Could the stewards just said that as "the trainer of IWR has an illegal substance and delivery method" we must scratch all his horses.

New York stewards scratched Gato Go Win from the Bay Shore Stakes (G2) on Saturday at Aqueduct after security personnel said they saw trainer Jeff Mullins attempting to administer a substance to the colt before the race.


If the first post is accurate,
you got a guy thumbing his nose
in such a blatant manner before some big races.

It really is shocking anyone could be that
stupid or that desperate.

So you maybe you are right, given the totally outrageous/
oblivious behavior.

I thought the same thing..

If he was caught red handed, I would imagine he may face criminal charges. It is a crime to attempt to tamper with a pari-mutual contest in New York State.

Maybe Mullins had a little cold/cough and the air power is the only thing that works for him. He ha s it carefully dosed in the syringe. Thats a plausable/believable defence, right?

:tro:

Should have been.

Didn't we basically foreshadow this yesterday, without even knowing it? What if this piece of sh1t had tried this in the Kentucky Derby instead of the Bay Shore? Imagine the backlash from the media would have been. He's already publically shamed the game with his ridiculous comments to the LA Times.

At least I am 99% sure I didn't get beat in the last at Keeneland yesterday by a cheat. By the way, my friend was in the winner's circle for that race, she used to work for Seitz. LOL

It's been threatened in many incidents and then hasn't been part of final penalty agreements.

After an investigation and if the facts prove true NYRA should ban Mullins for a lengthly period if not life. I suspect other states will give a look as well. This is the correct time to clean the game if it is to survive.

Greg Martin (training for IEAH :rolleyes: ) was prosecuted for his role in the A One Rocket milkshaking. Got a fine, probation, and home confinement.

Got ya, but it is brought up in the initial phases of any incident. I think it doesn't get pressed because it's akin to proving conspiracy which is very difficult. If it didn't get used in the Greg Martin/IEAH horse case, I imagine it will never be used.

The company’s website states that Air Power will stop a horse’s cough all day and “that nothing manufactured and sold by Finish Line will test positive in any race or show jurisdiction.


i wonder if that should include an * with fine print saying something about they can't guarantee the syringe is invisible.

this is an "oral dose syringe" , not a needle, right?

got to be oral...

from the www.thoroughbredtimes.com

"Like Dutrow, Mullins is no stranger to rules violations. In spring 2008, he served a 20-day suspension from the California Horse Racing Board for use of the Class 2 drug mepivicane, and at least one of his horses tested positive for excessive levels of total carbon dioxide in 2005. In the aftermath of his troubles in 2005, Mullins lashed out against the industry and was quoted in the Los Angeles Times as having attributed his troubles to horseplayers “crying about losing a $2 bet.

“If you bet on horses, I would call you an idiot,” the Times quoted the trainer as saying.

Mullins had another total carbon dioxide violation in summer 2008.

Mahoney said that Mullins’s presence in the detention barn itself was not a violation. He added that any attempt to administer something to a horse and possession of a syringe would be violations."

I don't remember anything shady being defended. either it wasn't shady or it wasn't defended.

as for Facts.. Mullins has nothing but contempt for the betting public. (and the rules) if these allegations are true, I think he deserves a severe judgement at least as bad as Patrick Biancone.

I think having anything in the D-Barns other than your pale and sponge is not acceptable. Not sure of all the rules.

As an upside it was great to get to Aqueduct on Saturday after so many years and making the trip with one of my favorite people and seeing so many folks I don't always get to see and got to witness some pretty good racing I had a great time.

Despite the shroud over IEAH they do have talent for acquiring several graded
winners in a short time. There seems to be the semblance of good team work hear. We will see.

If the whole game goes to hell I'll move my tack to the QVC Network and produce the weekly "spanks" hours. Then we'll see how long it takes me to go bad.:eek:

They must have cameras in the detention barn right?

youtube baby !!! :D
