This is a guy who just recently completed 6 month suspension for cheating, he did not even bother to appael the suspension so he obviously used the illegal drug. I dont know if it bothers ppl, but it bothers me, there are so many other trainers that i'd like to see win a derby before this guy does. This is also not the only time his name comes up as someone who uses illegal stuff on the horses, i dont know the exact facts but i have heard his name on more then one occasion for cheating by using illegal drugs on the horses.

You are going to be
routing against Curlin? I don't think you stand much of a chance. If you were sprinting against him....maybe....but routing I think he will probably defeat you rather easily.
As for your thoughts on the trainer, I agree with you. I don't particularly care for him either. I typically do not cheer for his horses OR Pletcher's horses. That is why I may
root against Curlin on Derby day, but challenging him to a race over a route of ground because I don't like his trainer seems a bit extreme.
