it's a shame curlin is with him imo. had he been with a trainer who had never had a shadow of a doubt, then yeah, he'd be praised to the heavens.

AND WHO IS THAT?

who is what? trainers without shadows? no doubt plenty! not all trainers have drug positives-i'd say more don't than do.

see, this is a problem the thought that 'they all do it'. no, 'they' all don't!

So EVERY trainer is either a cheater or a failure? That is a ridiculous statement, and it is also potentially insulting to at least one very valued member of this board.
You, quite frankly, have no idea what you are talking about.

i know that every sucessful horse trainer does what they can to make thier horses feel better, and that can not be done with hay and oats only, just dont happen. i have worked for trainers that have won triple crown races, breeders cup races, and cheap races at cheap tracks, if it wasnt for veterinarians thier wouldnt be any cheap races at cheap tracks.

i think you're incorrect.

you know, charlie witthingham, who has a race being run in his honor today, never had a positive. i guess he 'wasn't successful'?

oh yes he did, have positives as have just about any trainer you can name from the modern era, im not saying that its bad, lots of horses need help so they can run pain free.

well, go figure, since i could have sworn the other day, in an article about jenine sahadi (who hasn't had a positive, makes you wonder how her lit de justice did well) in bloodhorse, said he never had.
