Ruler that may have been the craziest thing you ever wrote. You really are talking trash here. Lemme ask you something ok? WHen you go to the dentist to have work done do you refuse novaCAINE(same family)? When you had stitches did you refuse the shot the Dr, gave you before he sticthed you up? Thats all this is. I'd think as smart as you are in real life terms(but not horses yet) that you would see beyond the hype and actually think about this. So we have horses getting cuts stitched up and thats juicing? Please.

I think it makes perfect sense to cheat in a low level claiming race. Get the horse juiced up to win a $7500 claiming race--next time out run the horse in a $12500 claiming race and hope the horse gets claimed. Low leveling claiming races are perfect for cheats. But I do not think that Pletcher, Dutrow or Asmussen cheated.

Most of the time these big time trainers are training these low level horses as a favor. They could care less if they win. They just want to get rid of them and go work on the Flower Alley's of the world.
