B) Say that guys like Dutrow, Assmussen are not the problem and we should look past them and go after the testing labs instead. Then go on to instead put my energy into defending these guys.
She is choosing B. There is a lot wrong with that. Sorry if you cant see that.
One of the ways to get rid of this problem is for owners to stop sending horses to guys who juice. She chooses not to and still use them. So I dont want to hear how she is so good for the game.

fwiw, stone, i agree with you completely on all of the above. plenty of clean trainers out there--if maggi's contention is that testing is flawed, isn't it amazing how it keeps tagging the same few guys?!?! what are the odds? she wants them excused, as she uses them, and doesn't want anyone pointing fingers at her-and they should be pointing directly at her and others who hire these trainers--they hire them because they want that edge, they want that win regardless of how it's obtained.
