I heard a distressed and disturbed fan say something similar while at the Big A
on Saturday.

I guess then that vomiting will be done in epidemic proportions.

I have the fan's permission to use the vomiting quote in my book.

This is very funny in a sick way, is there a better poster child then Mullins for all that is wrong in racing, from this idiotic episode to the bettors are idiots comment (which many people on the backstretch believe IMO).

For attempting to break the rules he should get a long suspension. While people's call for blood for fairly innocuous substances in minute levels found in post race tests are often misguided, intentionally attempting to break the rules should be dealt with harshly. Regardless of how useless the substance in question is. And Air Power is pretty useless in the grand scheme. The guy is a bad guy and he deserves whatever he gets. And his owners better realize that they are part of the problem too. This guy should get a 5 year suspension. Or worse.

Security barns cant stop the mullet
haircut. Sampson-like qualities.
The effect on the frontal lobe
may contraindicate the use of
the mullet.

The pure bravado displayed
sneaking a syringe in... good lord.

Wonder if criminal charges can be filed? The intent was there but the crime never occured, at least on this occasion.

Regardless of what he was giving the horse, he needs to be dealt with severely. If the sport and NY in particular is serious about policing the sport, Mullins and the frequent violators crew needs to be slammed. This isnt the 3rd race at Turf Paradise. This is the trainer of possibly the Derby favorite blatantly violating the rules before that favorite runs in his final prep. What are the odds that IWR was going to also be illegally treated? 1-9? The Air Power is immaterial.

I think reaction to this is overly harsh, as the NTRA will undoubtedly dispatch a Blue Ribbon panel to investigate and give a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

I think this should be the last post on the subject until the NTRA has had a chance to weigh in.

I wonder if his bringing a syring to the D-barn could have prevented IWR from even running. He got caught over the Bay Shore colt but did he have one there for IWR too?
Could the stewards just said that as "the trainer of IWR has an illegal substance and delivery method" we must scratch all his horses.

Isn't anyone going to defend Mullins? Almost all of the other shady things have been defended here.
New York stewards scratched Gato Go Win from the Bay Shore Stakes (G2) on Saturday at Aqueduct after security personnel said they saw trainer Jeff Mullins attempting to administer a substance to the colt before the race.


If the first post is accurate,
you got a guy thumbing his nose
in such a blatant manner before some big races.

It really is shocking anyone could be that
stupid or that desperate.

So you maybe you are right, given the totally outrageous/
oblivious behavior.

If he was caught red handed, I would imagine he may face criminal charges. It is a crime to attempt to tamper with a pari-mutual contest in New York State.
