REAL Sports profile on juice in racing

[-BT-]

Ol Stevey trying to put the shoe on the other foot.

But, in his defense (if he has one) the guy has 1000+ starters a year, i'd be surprised if he actually saddled 1/3rd of them.

wish i could have heard what Lake and Mullins had to say about this report

Deny deny deny.

I wish they said the name of the horse who made over 500K and last raced with a broken pelvis. The trainer of that horse should be F-ing barred from ever training another racehorse.

I believe that I would be suspicious of the whole broken pelvis story.

How does a horse race with a broken pelvis?

Broken and cracked... I think an animal can have a crack even hairline and it can be called broken. It may be the animal can still run as long as long it is in a part of the pelvis that is not going to hinder the stride. I bet it still hurts like hell though. Guess he was drugged up. And the pounding probably does not help with the healing process.

There is no legal drug that would mask a broken pelvis

If it is true, that is downright disgusting.

They found the horse in a feedlot going to slaughter. It is not like he had been receiving quality care. It is a real stretch to singularly blame drugs for that horses problems.

I've been to New Holland in Pa. a couple of times and the condition of the non-thoroughbred horse were just sickly to look at and most of T-breds were in o.k. condition. Most of horses were not getting quality care like you said. It's sad to see how some people treat this wonderful animals.

I was interviewed for this story along with many other's in the industry who were not shown. Obviously there is some truth to what was reported however during my interview they repeatedly asked loaded questions. In one instance the interviewer said to me that Barbaro was obviously drugged. But in the end they used the old standby's Sahadi and Arthur. They said that Dutrow and Pletcher refused to be interviewed and in light of Assmussens few minutes it sound like they did the right thing.
