wow this thread has gone all over the place! first off yes SOOOOOOO MUCH happens on the backside that people that arent on the backside dont and never will know about. to say the backstretch is soap opera-esque is a understatement to say the least. i dont know asmussen personally and i do have tremendous respect for him as far as training the animals goes but 1 thing im not fond of with him if its true and thats that i heard that some jocks who ride for him he actually forces them to pay him a %, not totally sure its true but ive heard this from some inside the game and its not something i like especially considering all the money steve and his family already have.
next it isnt that easy to just juice a horse and make them run. some do try and cheat but they still dont win the races, lol funny that they cant even cheat right but its the truth
