I am embarrased by the racing game in general when owners flock to these guys and then defend them without having any idea whether or not the guy they are defending is guilty or not. The fans defense is even more laughable since they really have no idea what is going on. I believe that there are a few guys taking a big edge and think that anyone who thinks this not be true is naive or stupid. While it is probably a much lower number than some believe the fact that it exists at all is bad, And the sad truth is that the racing commissions and tracks and other bodies meant to police the sport are mostly woefully underfunded and staffed with less than stellar lineups of investigators.
just curious is it just me or do these miracle turnaround types usually never last more than one season of racing. I never remember these monster turnarounds lasting very long. does this make horse sense based on whatmay or may not being done to show these drastic improvements (besides tongue ties and shoe changes of course) ?
