Talk about sheep....wow is that an ignorant comment. I cannot believe people that follow racing can be so buffaloed. Of course Helen Pitts is no Assmussen. She is an honest trainer and Assmussen isn't.

The reason IAEH bought Big Brown is because they knew the horse was legit because it was trained by Kathy O'Connell and knew "the miracle worker" Richard Dutrow would get the horse to play the piano.

C'mon dude....wake up here. Assmussen, Dutrow and Pletcher win a lot of races because they use substances others do not have access to or the money to be able to have access to. It's not very complicated.

Actually, it is pretty complicated, and if you think it's only those three that are serious offenders, you need to open your eyes. Big Brown was trained by Pat Reynolds before the purchase, by the way.

Yes. Pat Reynolds. Doesn't matter. The point is the same.

Yes, I am a sheep. Or, at least a fan of decent shish kabob. You sure showed me. All this time I didn't know Kathy O'Connell was Big Brown's prior trainer. You must excuse my cluelessness, if you are beneficent enough, as you are the only person who knew this.

I shall alert the appropriate media.
