Bravo Rusty Arnold

[my miss storm cat]

Bravo? Really?

... for writing a rather sophomoric letter about a month and a half late in defense of an ethically bankrupt trainer whose greatest gift to the game would be to leave it forever?

Okaaay.

Let's hear it for business as usual.

Sorry. I am not impressed.

If nothing untoward has happened, why the pronouncement that blasi is done forever? Also, since nothing has happened with asmussen, what judgement are we talking about? Has he lost his license in any jurisdiction? No.
It is proper that investigations be done, all thing considered. Asmussen is no innocent babe, he can blame only himself for the reputation he has, the rap sheet he has.

Asmussen has never "pronounced" Blasi (your words) "done forever."

I was referring to the letter writer, who said blasi had 'pretty much ruined his own career'.

But, how can that be? If the video is nothing major, how did blasi ruin his career?

My two cents, your not understanding. His career is ruined cause of everything that came out of his mouth.

And his career wont be ruined. He will go train in Saudi Arabia for a million a yr or start training from a farm somewhere. Might be an ahole but his services will be wanted and needed.

Yes. Bravo. I'm literally exhausted debating this topic. I've been in that shedrow for years. If you think ANY horse in that barn gets insufficient care then I have resolved myself to the fact that I cannot change your opinion. Good luck with your witch hunt. And as for your opinion on Rusty penning a "rather sophomoric letter.....about an ethically bankrupt trainer," I pity you.

So exhausted that you started a thread...

With all due respect MMSC I did not start the thread to debate the topic. I simply posted a link to a well written editorial penned by a very respected horseman.

I'm sure Rusty is well respected by horseplayers that auto-toss his entries.
