I guess he can write about anything he wants, but isn't the first rule in writing that you get ALL the facts first, before making statements? If what he thinks is true, then make all the trainers mention be accountable. My head is not in the sand, but you and Mr. Beyer seem to have "pull' in the sport, now do something about it. Would you like it if someone accuse you of something without getting your side of the story first?

You should try thinking about what you write before you post it. You might also want to read what Beyer wrote first.

Who said his figures were the " bible " of the sport?

He didn't " accuse " anyone of anything.

He stated the " facts " that he felt were relevent to his column.

You can turn things around however you like, but it doesn't change your misinterpretation of the article in question. This isn't about me, or whether you or I ( or anyone ) even agrees with the article, but about the misunderstandings you seem to have.

But, hey, I'm not the one who claims he is a racing columnist.
