oh, i missed this little gem in the yahoo article first time skimming it:


" the he-said, they-said dispute won't be resolved either way until after the Belmont closes out the Triple Crown season on the second Saturday in June"


he said they said??? seriously?! one of the reasons why they do need to take a long look at illegal drugs and how they're handled in this sport. the horses had a positive test-that's far more than he said they said.

absolutely ridiculous.


and thanks for the above post pweizer. eye-opening for sure. truly, that article exposes what is REALLY wrong with the sport. not race day medication, but race day cheaters. many trainers never get a positive, he's had several. and now he's in the limelight, and it's all coming out. just like with assman and dutrow. plenty of clean trainers to be had, but some owners want that win no matter how they get it, and hire people who will get it for them. this is the type of press we don't need. people joke about matz, where's his negatives? or graham motion with animal kingdom?
