Thanks.....nice to see someone out there who sees it the same way. My main point which the other two lunatics cant seem to comprehend is that she could do whole lot more for racing than blaming the test labs, defending trainers who cheat, and employing trainers with checkered pasts.
Like you said...what it comes down to is the owners. They want that edge no matter how they get it. If owners REALLY wanted to help the game they would stop sending horses to these guys. Pull there horses and give em to the Mott's, Zito's, Tagg's of the world. Guys like Dutrow,Mullins,Lake would be outta business in a matter of time. Would be nice to see guys like Jack Van Berg back in the winner's circle. With the scum removed from the game, more horses could be sent to guys like him.
