I agree. There’s likely zero chance they would have banned a horse aiming for the TC.

Why does it matter though? Because it wasn’t quick enough for you?

Pimlico didn’t ban him. Santa Anita didn’t. Whether the intelligista of the board acknowledge it or not, banning the face of the sport is a ballsy thing to do.

Dropped the ball even though he didn’t run a race at a NYRA track over the weekend.

Makes perfect sense.

You’ve always been an unbiased observer.

Safe to say you’ve probably criticized NYRA over a hundred times on this board and who knows how often on the train wreck twitter account of yours. How many times have you given them kudos?

Over/under is 5 and I love the under. Not $20 win/place kind of love, but you get the point.

Bob's getting a raw deal on this one.
What would any of us have done in his shoes. You have an underdog , Derby horse, with a nasty rash spike a month ( give or take a bit) before the race. You treat it, and hope the drug clears the system. You can't scratch him from the biggest race in the world. Not for a skin rash.
Taking it head on would have been wise, but his credibility is shot.

Does anyone believe that Medina was juiced and that was how he won the Derby? It cleared within 10 Days or so?

There’s nothing to put together and I’m not apologizing for anyone. You should apologize to the board for that ridiculous signature though.

They didn’t ban him fast enough for you. Who cares? The point is they did it. If you think it was an easy decision, I disagree.

That’s about it.
