I'll reiterate that while I don't doubt there is cheating going on in the game, I do doubt that it is as pervasive, blatant or overt as some, including Beyer, believe. I thought we had a great conversation about a vitally important topic. I'll continue to try to make 'At the Races' a touchstone for a fair and open exchange of information for racing fans, horseplayers and stakeholders.

i wanted to ask him what he thought about ass getting the eclipse for top trainer(and another trainer also being in the running, and also with a positive last year-dutrow), but you guys had a subject change when you came back from break (the dog track) so i hung up.....enjoyed what i was able to listen to tho.
damn work, keeps interfering. the NERVE!


oh, also wanted to ask--you guys were talking about detention barns...trainers school horses in the paddock, in the gate-do they school in the D barn?? or is that not allowed?
