Not so sure i would want someone like that as a trainer
Although it would certainly explain his high winning percentage
but not necessarily what is best for the animal...

Proceed with caution

He did not sit out saratoga. His postive is the same as pletcher received a suspension for that he has appealed. Mepivicaine. An anesthetic. Not something you hop up a horse with. he won two breeders cup races after that and trained the HOY. Thast good enough for me.
