Gimme a break. Nobody scopes unless they suspect respiratory problems related to the race that the horse just ran.

Both horses had the same illness?

I don't know you -- but pal -- you look like a liar to me.

Well one horse just raced after getting lose and sliding about 40 feet on the parking lot. The other horse hasnt raced since before labor day and he has been sick off and on. I am not a trainer or a vet. I do not know why they decided to scope. Maybe they jock said something--I dont know. The point is that they came back clean.

If you're paying the vet bills you should know why they scoped.

Don't blame it on the jockey. Both horses had the same jockey? Sliding on the parking hardly constitutes a reason to scope.

Doesn't add up.

Maybe you're just saying that both scoped and came back clean? Kinda like a way to re-assure people that all is well with the poly?
