So what he is trying to tell us....

He is a cheat, but not as big a cheat as we want to make him out to be...

What a joke...


Then the last quote...

"People who say I'm a cheater? Well, that's the dumbest thing I ever heard," he says. "On average, mine cost a 100 [thousand], yours cost 10 [thousand], and you're wondering why I'm beating you? It ain't any kind of drugs or anything else. The horses are just faster."

What an ass...

I can't stand this line. Vets are paid (handsomely) to NOT make mistakes. Might as well have the groom do it for much less money if they're injecting the wrong drugs.
