Asmussen and Curlin

[SniperSB23]

The part that drives me nuts is that the owner is a big advocate for eliminating drugs in the game yet still chooses to use someone who just finished a six month suspension as his trainer. Talk about hypocritical.

As Morte' so eloquently says . . .

Holy Mother Of God






thud!



And what pray tell leads you to believe that Steve Asmussen is the only trainer in this business that DOES or WOULD EVER use an illegal drug?

Please, let those that have not, come forward to the altar right now. Sainthood is imminate.

I don't see anywhere where he says Steve Asmussen is the only trainer in this business that does or would ever use an illegal drug.

No he did not. Though he didn't bother as well to note the suspensions of Pletcher and Dutrow who both were on vacations recently. (Besides, they have the "better" veterinarian possibly.)

So are you saying it's ok to break the rules if others are doing it but not getting caught?

PG finally come up with a sensible post and yet people still knock him. I think he is right and a lot of people I know feel the same way. The morality level of many of the 'leaders' of the sport is dangerously low and statements like you just made are often used as justification for misdeeds.

Chuck, I said the same thing yesterday without much disagreement.

The fact that he's said so many outlandish things in the past works against him in a situation like this.
And yes... I really will feel ill if Asmussen wins the Derby after serving most of 2006 on suspension.

I don't really like him much either. But that isn't because he's busted for cheating on a regular basis.

[MISTERGEE]

and at halftime today its the posts 21 and the rants 17, stay tuned for second half action

[-BT-]

funny how you don't make any sort of reference to also not rooting for Todd Pletcher (who also was recently suspended around the same time as Assmussen) and his string of hopefulls to win the derby.

You need to state whether your biased against Asmussen himself or ALL trainers who get suspended, otherwise this post is just a rant about how you don't like 1 individual

Is there some kind of rule about posts vs. rants?
