yeah, that's one of the highlights of these occurrences-they give the suspensions around big days, that'll really hurt.

isn't the point of a suspension that it's harsh?

as for ahmed and others like him-these owners purposefully seek these trainers, because the adage says 'if you're not cheating, you're not trying'. they want to win, they don't necessarily want the best horse.

I do have to give points tho...instead of a 'do you think I'm stupid' defense, he went with the 'I wasn't there' defense...cause goodness knows that there's no way to communicate via that new-fangled phone contraption.
