![]() Do not miss Andy Beyer and his spirited defense of Doug O'Neill on Thurs. ATR: "I've scrutinized his record & know what a cheating trainer looks like. Doug O'Neill is an honest trainer". Calls negative coverage 'mean-spirited, ill-informed'. Much, much more and will detail his thoughts in forthcoming column..
Archive: http://tinyurl.com/85xubuq ALSO... Noted Bloodstock Advisor Tony Cobitz on the Belmont runners, American Breeding, Identifying physical characteristics, more.. Mike Welsch with latest gallops, final thoughts.. Pat Reynolds, Tony Black, Rich Eng, Callers and a bugle blast from Sammy!

![]() Here is his column from this afternoon:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/2012-b...KLV_story.html While his positive comments towards O'Neill help balance the negativity out of the NY Times, it runs counter to the facts. O'Neill has multiple positive TCO2 tests from multiple jurisdictions as well as positives for therapeutic medications and medications you aren't supposed to give horses. I don't know how you can scrutinize his record and call him an honest trainer. |

![]() How many times this guy claim a horse dropped in for a tag (1st time) by the fellow trainer Richard Mandella? The guy can't wait to cheat with a horse from a clean trainer.

![]() Hey Vick,Love the emotional calls at Betfair@ hollywoodpark
Hope to see you in the press box or around the track @ Del Mar The reason "Coach and "Lord" and all the other East coast Eire canal snobs are just jealous that after a long drought out west we seem to have a genuine caring man who along with a lot of others in this industry try to due there best ,are genuinely caring about their horses and have love for the game, don't take themselves to seriously. These same forum Nazi either make up there own press clippings or read each others without doing any real research besides scanning some old past performances or making assumptions on somebody good name. ![]()

![]() You're curious about business ethics? Shocking. Yeah...I guess it's not that big of a deal. Now that I think about it I would be totally o.k. with Nick Saban being an assistant for Auburn and when he clocks out coaches the Tide. |

There are plenty of threads for you to say your childish things. I was actually interested, speaking of shockers, in your takes on this matter. See if you can stay focused long enough for a debate. |

![]() Yeah I didn't think it was possible to get my words confused. I guess the next step is to get a rattler and some flash cards.

![]() I understand the analogy is weak.
I'm not sure why people just assume that horseman WILL always be unethical or attempt to cheat. Of course any industry will have a small sub-section of people that attempt to break the rules. However I choose to believe the best. If I was an assistant trainer trying to eventually go out on my own with just a few horses, while still trying to pay the bills for my family. There's nothing I'd enjoy more than kicking my bosses butt if we happened to each have a horse in the race. I choose to believe that people are honest and play fair until their actions prove otherwise. See, posts can be made concerning the subject matter without personal attacks on the posters. Try it. It's enjoyable. |

![]() i am certainly not saying that there are no honest and ethical trainers by any means. but there are some.
perhaps, like in most situations, it depends on the people involved.
