He dropped the Winstrol during the TC, either post Derby or Preakness.

Not exactly
He said they were stopping after the Preakness.

Dont believe everything you read or RD says.

I believe you have it wrong - I think he said they were stopped before the Preakness .. meaning he didn't get his May 15th injection.

However, I'm told I accidently said Theregoesjojo was sired by Bernstein today on the radio ... what are the odds of us two blowhards both being wrong about something on the same day? 5K-to-1?

You just better be glad Byk didnt have Jon White on another line.
He would have tightened your ass up real quick.

If his lips are moving, he's probably lying. When I saw him in NY he sure looked far less than the robust beast of the FLA Derby. Of course, I'm sure the Derby/Preakness schedule took some toll but, yikes!

imo it's a good article with many valid observations . Horse racing, in general , with it's lack of regulation from the top down, is too similar to Wall Street and AIG . This comment is in general terms about the lack of a regulatory structure .

his credibilty goes out the door with his opening sentence. and could someone explain why barbaro is mentioned in paragraph two? what, the new theory is he took a bad step because of drugs? eight belles was tested post race, and nothing untoward showed up-she stumbled when changing leads in the gallop out-pine island suffered the same fate in the same way. does giving lasix affect how a horse changes leads?
and does mr. drape know that most euros grab a vet immediately after landing to get the same drugs we use here?
