Reminds me of Hannity on Fox.

Beyer was tremendously generous yesterday to stay the hour and take calls. I take a lot of pride in having the only vehicle around the game where players and fans can hear from and have access to people like Beyer and Crist for the amount of time they do. While I think Beyer's DRF piece was a bit reckless speculating on specific 'cheaters' without proof other than high winning percentages and move-up performances, he writes about drug use out of a profound love for the sport and concern for its' existence.
I'll reiterate that while I don't doubt there is cheating going on in the game, I do doubt that it is as pervasive, blatant or overt as some, including Beyer, believe. I thought we had a great conversation about a vitally important topic. I'll continue to try to make 'At the Races' a touchstone for a fair and open exchange of information for racing fans, horseplayers and stakeholders.

Agreed. To have a stage like ATR to have heavyweights come in and express views is absolutely good for the game. You can be sure there will be varying views as there are picking horses, but the expression of opinons to further the discussion of the sport can only help a concensus form to bring issues to the forefront and ste the stage for change.
