![]() Also the MJC is just the track. It sounds like an official organization but it's just a company. They can bounce anybody they want and you see it happen, like Jane Cibelli at Tampa last year.
Lake doesn't have many horses anymore. I read an article a few months ago which said he had about 20. |

Lake said he appealed his suspension because he believes it is excessive. “My thought is that the penalty is unfair; one guy has a positive and gets 30 days, and that is reduced to 15, and I get 60,” Lake said. http://www.drf.com/news/lakes-suspen...ubled-120-days |

![]() New update from Dunleavy.
http://www.drf.com/news/lakes-suspen...ubled-120-days I was confused when they first said the two suspensions would be served concurrently. Another thing that confused me was that the suspension was to start in April. That's two months from now. Now, he's appealed and they say "possibly" they will hear that appeal in March. Then I guess the suspension would start in May or later ? The more I hear, the more confused I am. This drug was supposedly give to make horses eat. Why so many not eating ? Plus, does anybody have any concern of who bought this drug, where did it come from and who gave it to the horse and where ? I guess not. |

Everyone is free to use it out of competition. It will still be helpful getting a horse back from time off, but since steroids were pushed out, needs to be clear in the system (30-45 days I think) before they commence racing. Steroids get testosterone-devoid geldings and picky-eating fillys/mares into the feed tub. Maybe everyone should go back to the old appetite stimulant they used years ago... arsenic.
