MAR FIGHT: Stewards hand down rulings/fines

[johnny pinwheel]

i could care less...and i bet au miner. this happens, its racing. i'm more pissed off about life at ten. that was a travesty, johnny v. should get his head handed to him along with pletcher. that ladies classic tarnished the entire friday card and the guy is on national tv saying the horse is not right....but says nothing at the gate. then people wonder why racing gets a black eye about cheating from casual fans..... the only thing that could of gone worse is if that horse would of keeled on the track...MORONS!!!!!!!!

I said the same thing about LAT, and was told Pletcher was'nt "aware" of it because he was in some room, and that basically it was'nt his fault. I know I saw him with my own eyes standing there looking at her as she was going in the gate and did nothing. I agree with you as well about her suffering a heart attack while running because there was obviously something not right with the mare.

We have all seen "educated" people act in the same manner, so not sure how that comes into play. Calvin is merely guilty of using poor judgment and allowing his emotions to take over.. No amount of education can prevent that from happening.

I don't recall anyone ever saying he was the classiest of guys either.

Pletcher was in the room getting ready to watch the race. The same room he watched the Uncle Mo race in. When he was told of what was happening, he came down and finally made it to the rail as they were going into the gate. A lot of people dropped the ball there.
