TD Houghton/investigation update

The absolute best part of the story:

“The fact that Churchill Downs chose to move against Terry is a slap in the face of every racing commissioner in the country,” Engelland told The Blood-Horse. “Protecting the integrity of racing is the state commission’s job. A racetrack should never move on guesswork. In this TRPB investigation, no one ever talked to the trainers of any horses, never talked to the vets or grooms, never looked at the PPs to see if race was out of line on a Beyer basis...they’re going on pure speculation and supposition.”

I don't Mr. Beyer probably ever considered this possible use of his figures.
