If by conventional you are suggesting pure and simple great horsemanship then I suggest you thought the same about Rick Violette's barn when his horses were in super form.. Both stables are full of good owners with great resources and both stables have two outstanding trainers at the helm. Both stable's above normal success were or are of from anything conventional. In due time the Levine machine will calm down, as what works today doesn't work as well tomorrow. Unfortunately, its an arms race just with undectectable elixirs and there isn't the money or comprehensive agencys to maintain the peace or worse balance of power.

You need me to clarify 'taking an edge conventionally'? The term is meant to suggest that Levine may well be doing the kinds of things you suggested in terms of taking liberties within the confines of the rules.
As to what I try to do 'in racing', my first instincts are journalistic having been brought through my training early on as a newspaperman. But I will say that the radio show is designed to be entertainment first and foremost. As such, I try to deliver the news and hard factual elements of the game without turning it into an inquisition. The show is designed to celebrate and promote the game as opposed to work to expose its' most seemly elements and act as an agent provocateur for change. I trust the ability of a good portion of the game's leadership charged with making the necessary adjustments in the industry. I encourage it as best I can, and don't believe I am in a position to act as the arbitor of who is good/bad or right/wrong in every circumstance. I try to bring the facts forward by providing access to as many people in the game as I can reach and let the fan/listener decide for themselves. Personally, it's not necessarily relevant whether I care for Rick Dutrow, Steve Asmussen, Jess Jackson, etc., or not... But fans want to hear from them when appropriate, and I feel I have an obligation to be in position to bring them to the listeners. I can't do it if they refuse to come on the show. Andy Serling and I had this discussion last year. If the show tends to make me come off more as Mike Douglas than Mike Wallace, I can live with that...

Not that Steve needs me coming to his defense, but he is in a much more delicate position than most of us, the results have come back and they have declared Levine was clean as far as his N.J barn is concerned. He has to go on the what the results say. As a show host the adjective "alledgedly" will only get you so far, but unlike most of us that can look at the negative tests to much chagrin
 I don't think it's Steve's job to tell us that. Anyone with half a brain of horseracing knowledge can draw their own conclusions.
