Why do you think that Dell

Cool Clue was competitive at that level a few times. It's not like he showed some huge improvement. He jumped 10 objective figure points and just got the winner. He was back at the same level he ran for previous connections, where he belongs.

I just don't think he was drugged based on that effort. He pissed after the race

I think there's a big difference in vetting these horses to the fullest, amd drugging.

Speaking of calabrese outfit I'm sure the vet bills are pretty extensive, but he has unlimited funds. That should be taken into account

I agree with this. He has a 'personal' vet because he has so many horses, so the bills probably are not what you think they are. He is getting a major discount as many vets have 25-35% profit built into their number because they are never paid on time.

He ran a 73 Beyer (8 pt top) but the fractions were somewhat the same, final time was only a tenth faster then his last race, and he got somewhat of a perfect trip until the 1/8th pole.

Does it suck? Absolutely. If he was cheating, he would have been busted by now because he has been doing the same stuff for years. And the IRB was back snooping around last week, pretty interesting stuff although we obviously weren't part of it.

I agree his vet bills are extensive and he's tested and passing. I still think Cool Cue feels like he's in Amsterdam because of 'vetting to the fullest.'
