and Chuck Simond as have all the trainers with any kind of stable size have had a number of violations and suspensions!
Douge O'Neill's takes responsibility for his barn and runs a healthy prosperous stable and was found to not have been "milkshaking"any of his horses
This is obviously a east coast bias and the stuff shirts and the blue bloods just can't get over the fact that a horse with this pedigree and sales cost can elevate his game to this level

Sure glad I took the time to try and offset Andrew Cohen's ridiculous and inappropriate use of Chenery as an attack vehicle and compliment O'Neill's handling of the situation...

For that effort, my friends and partners -- who have willingly lost in excess of $100,000 each providing everyday players and fans a chance to be involved in the game as owners -- get besmirched. Well done.

I am sorry if I offended or besmirched anybody but especially you Steve or any trainer or participant involved with DT stables or horse racing in general
My point (poorly made)was to say that we should appreciate the fact that running a large training and racing stable is multi faceted and the ultimate responsibility for the post race condition of the horse is that of the trainer of record.
The fact that there are violations or even suspensions does not tell you weather the trainer it good or bad or ugly.
It only means that the enforcement of rules have been used and that the trainer is the last place to drop the shoe!
I'm just here at a key board and tying to voice a view that wants to look at the entire picture of the condition of the Thoroughbred industry and give it some perspective
I think you and almost everybody on your radio show and those that write there opinions here at this forum are well beyond my ability to express themselves.
So with that said I again apologise for a poorly written though
