Dont believe everything you read or RD says.

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?
