Only if that bute moves you up markedly and you'd otherwise be a victim of chronic tooth pain.

His shoe problem didn't have anything to do with him coming up empty. Blame the heat or the missed training, but a loose shoe doesn't account for the empty tank. Horses win races without shoes all the time. The excuses are getting old. Maybe he just wasn't good enough to win a TC. All he needed was a 100 beyer and he couldn't even do that.

Speaking of Monmouth -- that can be one tricky track.

Getting tired of IEAH and their snake oil salesman. Their comments and the fact that the media picks up on them is insulting to anyone with a brain.

It is like Michael Dickinson telling us every time a horse breaks down it is because the track was Tapeta. Give me a break.

What is really annoying is the media gives these snake oil salesman repeated free media to hype what they are selling.

I hear ya but it is the way the "media" operates. We are just noticing it more because we understand the issues and can see the holes in the stories and the occasional complete untruth. I'm sure that other industries and business deal with the same crap.

I think this was a smart move by IEAH simply because it buys them some free, good press. Considering that they run in NY where Lasix is the only race day med used it sure is generous of them to give up all those other meds that they cant use anyway. Until they specifically name what drugs that they will be giving up and tsting for the whole thing is a joke yet the media will portray it as a positive and unknowing (or stupid) people will commend them and say that "you have to start somewhere" or " it is a first step" when it actually is simply lipservice.

It's somewhat interesting that Iavarone was "looking" for reasons the horse didn't do what everyone expected -- now the shoe -- and Dutrow keeps saying "no" or "nothing wrong".

I like the last one where Dutrow said they (owner) can keep saying whatever they want, but I am going to keep saying there was nothing wrong with this horse -- or something along those lines.
