The "everybody does it" defense is full of horse crap.

Chart from 6/30/07 Northwest Hill.

There was a huge thread on another forum, but the owner took it down............must have been the fear of attorneys.

I trained NW hill for a short time. Claimed him from Pete Vestal or Reinstedler at Saratoga, lost him in a claimer at CD that fall. He did win the day I lost him. Sad to hear about his fate.

There was more to the story but like Echo Farm said, a lot of posts were deleted elsewhere and even the second thread asking what happened to the original.....

Well, it was a sad story and I'm sorry I can't remember the details.

One of those things where many were questioning why he was entered because of some recent history.

Poor thing.

I was on hold but I was freezing my ass off and I am not going to go off after a conversation like he has now.

SHE IS OUT OF HER MIND. She essentially said that the public thinks that ALL TRAINERS CHEAT now when this couldn't be FARTHER from the truth.

I WAS PRAYING he was going to let me on with her. I wanted ONE question answered?

How would she explain the CONSTANT movement of claimed horses, from a guy that has had suspension after suspension?

And, she is NUTS for sayin

**** it, I am calling again.

I missed the first part of Scav's call -- but I hope he smoked her.

I guess you don't become the nation's leading owner without doing any and everything you can to win, even if it's unsavory, and then using crappy lawyer doubletalk to try to justify it.

Thank for calling in Scav's and expressing our frustrations....she was so "over the top" with the defending of him....the proof is in the pudding!

You know, these owners have to stick together

I haven't change my opinion and her statement sure hasn't cleared anything up.

And someone yanked the information from Pedigree Query. It was up there, including his race record. I'm trying to rebuild it now. Anyone have a pps on him?

Maybe I can email Maggi

He was at the sale today, and Coolmore is still there.
