I do not condone the race day use of drugs on horses in any manner and would fine the seriously fine the trainer on the first positive, and ban them for ten years or so on the second.
But this horse was not impossible off the racing form. In fact Steve Crist, I believe, had the pick six and included this horse because of race shape and several over par races.
The horse was a stakeswinner facing one x foes.. Was dropping substantially in class and only one or two others in the field had ever hit the board in the one X class. Star for a Day had never not cashed a check in a one x except the race where it was wiped out at the start and then had to take time off.
Many on this board routinely bet NY with the Dutrows, Contessa, Lake et.al ...and they are not exactly altar boys...to each its own BBB
