The Michael Gill/Penn National Riders Saga

[The Indomitable DrugS]

For the record ... I did a little research ... and I can name 20 different horses and counting owned by Maggi Moss that broke down in a race - (all were unable to finish their race and obviously never raced again. I'm not talking about being eased and racing again - like more than a few of Gill's have recently)

Again - I like Moss ... and even though she came across as a monumental hypocrite in her letter .. you have to keep in mind that she employs Steph Beattie and there is no telling what kind of stuff Beattie might have said to her.

I think it's very likely that horses owned by Maggie Moss break down at a higher rate per start than Gill owned horses have ... although Gill has certainly closed the gap steadily since hiring Delahoussaye.

Having Gill (have people figured out yet that he's an owner and not a trainer?) banned from a racetrack for an obvious statistical anomaly regarding horses breaking down ... that is about as disgraceful as it gets.
