Of course I am reaching for the stars in search of some moral character within this sport.


Don't worry not going to happen anytime soon.

9 days ago you were congratulating Baffert. Today you want jocks to refuse to ride for him and trainers to tell jocks they won’t ride them if they ride for Baffert.

Again, I despise Baffert but some of the most appalled by this have watched this happen for YEARS and said nothing. Just seems odd.

Johnny V did not get paid for his ride in the Derby, correct?

Not yet. What does that have to do with anything?

[richard burch]

If he is DQ'd then he is not getting paid. He just risked his health riding for a trainer who deceived him. Why would anybody ride in a race that they might not get paid for and why would you even want to be tied to Bob Baffert right now anyway?

Lets say he is not lying and they rubbed some liniment on the horse after a workout. Well if he thought he was clean then they probably rubbed it on him after a tough race like the derby too which puts him again within 14 day window of his next race. He could be DQ'd again if he wins. Are you going to take that chance?
