You don't know the details if you think what went on was anything other than the screwing of a small outfit that was never going to get back to the World Cup. Bradley followed THEIR direction for withdrawl times on the anti-inflammatory (nearly 30 days out) and was taken advantage of with a trace positive. It was robbery. And to impune the horse's reputation because of it is as gross an injustice as what was done to Brass Hat, Fred & Buff Bradley and Willie Martinez.
