Hi Luv... I had thought about sticking it here, on this thread BUT wanted the focus to be on the positive (their action) instead of a footnote to a negative.

It's all good though... it really doesn't matter.

As Jay Privman tweeted, 'Not defending what's gone on with Masochistic, but I remember when Shoemaker & Charlie Whittingham would operate similarly and no one ever questioned them.'

And of course like every other wrong-headed notion about International racing, no one is getting 'banned for life' for setting up scores. Obviously they weren't following Barney Curley's exploits last year. http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...ghlight=curley

With respect, if this is grandstanding? I'm all for it. I think the feeling of the line about being banned for life was what was important and not taking it in a literal sense.

Exactly.
