And of course we all know about the famous attending vet Harthill(now passed away) and his famous methods Seattle, but you are too young and dumb to understand what journalists tried to say between the lines about him and SS when Goer couldnt even run on lasix.
Tell you what I do KNOW!!! When SS shipped to belmont they told ole Charlie that there was gonna be round the clock surveillance on his horse, "to make sure he was safe and noone got to him". LOL!!! Ole charlie sure was full of bravado after the Derby and before the Preakness, but was awfully bitter and on edge the weekend of the Belmont.
The real deal was that Easy Goers connections knew and felt that ole Doc Harthill was the problem. And no way, no how was he getting near him before the Belmont.
We know the rest, Easy Goer disposed of SS like tissue paper under a snug hold and just cruised home. Funny what happens when horses are put under surveillance huh.

No horse could run on Lasix in NY in those years. I seem to remember that Easy Goer didn't run on it during the TC races but Sunday did (except the Belmont). Hmmmm.....
Do you know what Easy Goer died from? Autopsy showed tumors on every organ in his body. Mr. Shug is a DMSO jugging guy. The tumors were blamed on that. Do you know what DMSO jugging is for?? Mr. Shug is no saint.
