As the most important source for Racing News etc. You are in a VERY tough spot. Very hard to ask Ellis Yo what's with the vet's list after races and the 35% winners with 60 + days rest? How do you skip a G1 after galloping in an allowance? You cant ask him, Ron what was it in the first 48 hours after galloping in an allowance that convinced you and the attending vet that Winstrol was indicated? You just cant, none of these guys would EVER tolerant this scrutiny nor is it your place.

There is some underlying truth to Paul's Blog. I also have held certain trainers beyond approach. I was first to come out and tweet Sam she isnt a cheat. I still don't think she is a cheat. I do think people like to win and it gets the best of them, in Sam's case it not about money the purse for the gelding is nice but she blows MULTIPLES of that on speculative yearlings EVERY year, she let winning and being at her home track on racing's biggest day get the best of her. I shouldn't feel bad for them but I still do and maybe that's the problem.
