Did you bother to look at what Peace Chant's record is on dirt? And by the way he ran 107 beyer in the past as well. This horse has an awesome pedigree. A $900,000 purchase. Again not surprising when placed on his best surface that he ran well.

Modification was not even close to winning that race. Finished 4th not 2nd.

Before you go ripping somebody you might want to have your facts straight.

Modification didn't lose by much.

Goes from optional claiming to being about a length off LIFE IS SWEET.
You 're all enabling a known cheater. This is why nothing gets done. Your so used to cheating trainers that you don't care. Mandella dropped Peace Chant down, because he was struggling. He woke up because he went to a cheater(you can't deny he is a cheater.) There are 3 ways to mask cheating: change surface, blinkers, and put a leading rider on. That's three reasons a cheater can use. You just used one of them. Honu works for Mandella. Lets hear her opinion on how a horse who ran 6th for $62,500 is CRUSHING IN A 100K STAKES(He never won a stakes of any sort for Mandella.) You're saying Mandella gave away a stakes horse. I don't think so. They lost about 700k right? See what she says. TO BE HONEST, HE CHEATED TWICE, AND HE SHOULD BE GONE. I don't know why people want cheaters in their game. It's stupid. This is the problem with the game. New people aren't gunna bet if they aren't sure it's honest. It sure isn't honest. You let a guy get two HIGH CO2 violations, and just send him out there to do it again. He just made 60k in one damn race. What's a $7500 fine every couple years? Nothing. I understand he has a charming regular guy personality. O.K.? I GET IT, BUT HE IS A CHEATER. People didn't believe me about him on the ESPN BOARD, and after 2 high co2 violations, they still don't want to believe it. Get it straight. He cheats.
