Thanks for helping the non-racing crowd and reinforcing their opinion that every race is 'fixed' or 'drug enhanced' and indicting every trainer, owner and stable worker ever associated with horse-racing. Yes, there are issues and they need to be dealt with on a case by case basis. But not by this 'ivory tower' crowd.

They have single handedly done more to damage horse racing than all the racefixing scandals, ringers, breakdowns and drug positives put together. It isnt easy to take people with no opinion on something and piss them off so much that they are now enemies of the sport and in some case actively working to eliminate it.
