When this guy calls you a cheater .....

[Split Rock]

So let me get this straight. Everyone on this board knows that Beattie cheats and the election that made her president was fixed? Yet nothing has happened up to this point? Is it just that the public outside the racing world could care less?

What other line of work can someone cheat so blatantly, so obviously, so known amongst their peers, yet go unpunished....? Even go without an investigation?

This game, at times, is impossible to believe. While there are some really good people involved....there are also a whole lot of scumbags, too. People who would be scheming against the elderly in nursing homes if it weren't for the easy money they can procure from "training".

I would say scheming against the elderly is a pretty big step up in terms of scumbaggery.

These are people who probably grew up tough -- had been put down as losers -- and now that slots money and the sheer rush of winning is within reach if only they can outmanuver and get the biggest edge possible.

You have to imagine the rush you'd get from winning while making other competent people look like complete fools by comparison - that would have to feel tremendous.

Still -- at the end of the day -- they're the ones who know their own greatness comes from drugging animals -- or freaking shocking them some how. Who knows what they're doing.

David Wells is making a DAMN GOOD living right now -- he's got a horse who has won 15 races in a row -- he's living the dream ... and instead of taking the 5th ... he wants to tell a Grand Jury he was THERE ... he KNEW ... that Steph Beattie was shocking them when they killed the world together!

Think about that? Take the 5th and shut up. You have it made. No... he'd rather say "you know what -- I was there -- I knew -- she shocked them and I went along for the ride" They were probably getting an edge a million other ways .. so who knows if shocking them was a difference maker.

If I had a horse at Penn I would put that horse in the honest hard working successful hands of Mr. Brandon Kulp. While all this garbage is swirling around up there he just keeps plugging away doing the right things day in and day out. Just my opinion. I have met him as he trains a horse for friends and he is the real deal.
