Makes me want to vomit even more thinking of I Want Revenge as the probably Derby favorite.

Seeing how this necessitated a scratch, I imagine that the stewards will have to fine and/or suspend him. And if Dunkirk were to draw in, his trainer would have a cloud over him due to the Wait a While positive at the Breeders' Cup. (Was there any ever resolution to that one?) Lovely timing for Waldrop and company.

I was just thinking about that - how serious an offense would this be? I'd expect in the heirarchy of offenses, it would be worse than getting caught after the fact. Would there be a chance if this proves true that Mullins would be suspended on May 2nd?

This could be very interesting, because you would think he would appeal, and delay any suspension to post Derby? But with all the rules changes and new testing policies, etc., etc, could they come down harder and quicker against him, and really make an example of him?

I think it would be just wonderful to go from a Rick Dutrow Jr. trained Derby winner to a Jeff Mullins trained Derby winner.

I couldn't think of two trainers alive who have made such metoric rises from total obscurity to major circuit kingpins in such very short time. And now that they've paid their dues and stayed near the very top for five or six years ... don't they deserve to win the Derby more than their training counterparts who lack such Alchemistic genius?

Poor Larry Jones. All he can ever do is seem to run 2nd. I think the Derby Gods have frowned on him so because - while he does have the magic of a Dutrow or Mullins - he lacks the sheer hate-ability of those two.

Is hateability even a real word?

Turn a negative into a possitive. Off drugs angle?

I heard a distressed and disturbed fan say something similar while at the Big A
on Saturday.

I guess then that vomiting will be done in epidemic proportions.

I have the fan's permission to use the vomiting quote in my book.
