Racing recycles its trash better than any entity in the world and you bring up all of the worst instances of it. I have no argument with anything you've said, it's 100% the truth. However, Stan Verrett piling on with a stupid remark is worthy of him being called a moron.

Sure he is a moron but we are the root cause. We get no respect because essentially the sport/business of horse racing doesn't respect itself.
