For someone to go to a new enviroment where people don't necessarily know him, and have them run the way they have ran, I see no reason why it is ridiculous to think that the people OVER THERE aren't curious
Well he hasn't won three races there - and his two weren't in a row.

There are plenty of explanations for his horse's performances that don't involve illegal doping, and simply by mentioning it - even in the way that you are - you're buying into and enforcing the "he must be juicing" ideology. It's ok to be skeptical and in many cases such skepticism is warranted, but the fact that as soon as a trainer wins a listed stakes and then wins a G2 with a decided pace advantage at 5/1 he's questioned as a cheater shows that there's something wrong with the way we view trainers nowadays.
