Do you know how dangerous that is?

Not to mention Biancone who was using snake venom for the same purpose.

Well yeah Bobby, that's the equivalent of taking an All Pro NFL running back with a knee injury and potentially risking career ending injury by injecting tetracaine and solumedrol in a knee so they can play while injured. Which is exactly what is done not only in the pro's but now all the way down to the youngest of kids at levels shameful to sport and society.

Congrats on the big win with #4 over the weekend.

Bobby? I'm not Bobby. I didn't win anything over the weekend either.

On the subject, I am curious why Bobby Frankel got a free pass? I've never met Frankel before though he has walked by me a couple of times. But from what I have heard the guy is allegedly not the most friendly person in the world. But when he was winning everything in sight for a span of a couple of years ago everyone was hailing him as the greatest thing since sliced bread. I think he had great horses and great owners to start with, but was everything on the up and up with him? Horseracing didn't address the drug problem to the lengths they do today, and even today there is a ways to.
