HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - When I wrote a recent column about "supertrainers" whose feats are so amazing that they raise suspicions about the use of illegal substances, horsemen at Gulfstream Park protested vehemently. A committee of trainers declared that these allegations brought "discredit to the game."

Some of these very trainers have records of drug violations that should make them hesitant to accuse anyone of discrediting the game. But at least one trainer cited in the column does have the standing to voice his objections.

Says to me that the guy has a clean record in terms of tests but believing that he is so much more a horsemen then the rest of the world is the overriding factor. I have not seen move ups like that out west other then the very brief time Mullins was not on the level, there are no 70 beyer fig claims that turn into 110's.
