They’re banning him and losing the probable favorite for the Met Mile in doing so.

I don’t see why it makes a difference when it was done. It was done. I realize not everything is up to your lofty standards but the reality is it took a lot of balls to ban him, regardless of when it was done.

Bullying a 91 year old guy. You should be proud.

I didn’t bully him and he’s not 91.

Like I said, if you’re right about something it’s purely by accident.

And you can’t even really blame the weed on what a colossal moron you are. From what I hear you’ve always been that way. You’ve gotten more vagina like as you’ve gotten older but always been a big dummy.

Oh, he’s 94 now. My bad

Not surprising that he has such a good son. They don’t make them like him anymore. Good vibes from the Atlantic Ocean.

And I’m saying it doesn’t matter what they may or may not have done.

Whenever someone hits a game winning home run in the bottom of the 9th, I wonder if these guys like to point out that it would have been more impressive if he hit a home run a couple innings earlier.

Conclusion: the timing of taking action against both Rice & Baffert
on 5/17/2021 can NOT be legitimately viewed as coincidental.

NYRA gets credit for doing something that other jurisdictions should have before.
But a calculation was OBVIOUSLY made here.
They knew they had to discipline Rice, but knew they couldn't do so
if Baffert or any other trainer in similar circumstances had a TC within reach.
NYRA couldn't suspend Rice before Preakness Day and not do anything to Baffert.
THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WAY TO EXPLAIN THAT.
Medina Spirit lost the Preakness.

NYRA jumped on the opportunity to take action.

Yet still, the bettors always come first........unless we don't.

NYRA didn’t suspend Linda Rice.

The NYSGC did. They are not the same.

Baffert and Linda Rice have nothing to do with each other.

100% coincidental with the Rice ruling the culmination of years of investigation(s).

You can Listen to Alan Foreman on today's ATR (9:25-10:10) for further explanation of how these things work.

Got it.

I have no idea if they do. Nor do you.

But I do know that one has nothing to do with the other. Medina Spirit possibly going for a Triple Crown has nothing to do with Linda Rice’s penalty for things she did YEARS ago.

There’s no connection. ZERO

Don’t confuse things with the truth here please.

My fault. I'm so shook by the news (via Iditarod sled delivery?) that Kenny Mayne is out at ESPN..

Years of investigating? So they knew something was up and let it go on for years While they investigated ? shoulda called Mannix or Cannon.

Instead of just saying dumb sh.it over and over again why not read about the case and inform yourself?

You’re literally doing nothing all day except posting dumb sh.it. Are you allergic to facts?

First we need a new " face of horse racing" BB needs to disappear for a while. Stop talking and lay low. I don't hate him but I don't want to see or hear about him anymore for a while. I am glad they did it and ALL cheaters have to be outed from the tracks and their past suspensions should be easily accessible to the public / bettors so they can make the final call on whether to wager on their horses.

Pages like these are good but we need more transparency.

This is the kind of guy that should be the new "FOHR.

[Dahoss]

The lengths people go to just not admit they were wrong is hilarious.

Of course Rice pulled off what she did with the help of people employed by NYRA. They were fired years ago. There is no connection to the two cases.

Sure their decision was made MUCH easier when Medina Spirit didn’t win. Who cares? The decision was made.

Imagine spending all of this time an energy to criticize an organization for doing the right thing. Meanwhile crickets about Pimlico and Stronach tracks in general who still aren’t allowing Jerry Hollendorfer to run horses there. But Baffert is fine.

[Dahoss]

I’m not even sure what you’re asking.

If they banned him a month from now I still wouldn’t think it was too long. Then again, I’m not looking for things to criticize NYRA about.

If Santa Anita banned him a month from now I wouldn’t think it was too long.

[RolloTomasi]

One could argue that NYRA took action too soon. The banned a trainer for an alleged medication violation in another jurisdiction.

The split sample has yet to be analyzed. Were it to return negative for betamethasone, the case in KY will be dropped. Would NYRA be in a vulnerable position if that takes place?

On the other side of the coin, is the action they took going to be particularly effective? What are they going to do if a horse like Charlatan shows up in the entry box with a different trainer?
