I could not agree less.....the chances that Steve has seen the filly in question in the last 30 days is slim, and we all know that he was know where around EvD the night she was medicated....whether he authorized it is another question, but ask your self this....Would he really jeopardize all that he has just to win a cheap claiming race for a cheap purse at EvD?...By the way, the filly - No End in Sight - finished last in the race, so it hardly helped her....Steve is a lot smarter than that..
..this suspension is RIDICULOUS....6 months is WAY too much for the crime...Pletcher only got 30 days in NY for something similiar...this is clearly Louisiana business as usual, which is BAD POLITICS....the Cajuns were tired of Steve coming in and winning all the money with better horses so they found an excuse to punish him and nailed him hard for it....absolutely ridiculous and if I were Steve I'd probably hire a high-priced attorney to sue the stews at EvD, as well as the La. Racing Commission to make the Govorner look bad.....this is like putting a man in jail for six months for speeding...just isn't right...but that is just my opinion...
