I agree with this. He has a 'personal' vet because he has so many horses, so the bills probably are not what you think they are. He is getting a major discount as many vets have 25-35% profit built into their number because they are never paid on time.

He ran a 73 Beyer (8 pt top) but the fractions were somewhat the same, final time was only a tenth faster then his last race, and he got somewhat of a perfect trip until the 1/8th pole.

Does it suck? Absolutely. If he was cheating, he would have been busted by now because he has been doing the same stuff for years. And the IRB was back snooping around last week, pretty interesting stuff although we obviously weren't part of it.
