What more do you want? It's not like he was caught giving the horse a pair of wings. It was the equivalent of vicks vaporub. BFD.

And yes there probably was thought of the Preakness going into the handing down of the suspension. What if I Want Revenge wins the derby and his trainer is suspended for the Preakness?

I don't know about you but that sounds like a scenario out of Tard Marketing 101. Of course they're going to try everything in their power to downplay this offence and not make a national storyline out of it. It's bad enough we're going to have to endure hours of Eight Belles sob stories on derby day...but now you want this nonsense added to the equation?


Coach you are killing me.
