Was curious as to who she was to make this comment...

Every horse in America starts his day with a shot or two in the neck.

She's been training since 2002 but had moved to Maisons-Laffitte in 1999.

Aaaah, an expert AND one with insight as to the daily goings on of the racing world.

Gina Rarick is a clown. She hasn't a clue about training in the US despite her nonsensical rantings. She is not an American trainer nor ever has been. In fact she was described to me by a trainer friend from England as "an amateur"

The ludicrous statement that every morning American horses start out by getting a shot just destroys any sliver of credibility that she may have had.

Gina Rarick saying that her ambitions to win the Derby or Breeders Cup races are muted by "the conditions" that we run under here in the US is like me saying that I wont fight for Wladimir Klitschko for the heavyweight title belt until boxing has stronger PED regulations.

But she had a horse that ran second TWICE before it was claimed! Therefore she's an expert:

Le sigh.
