Asmussen: Lone Star positive

[the_fat_man]

Nobody's perfect.

[texarkana]

Is somebody deliberately trying to make this the worst PR year in the history of the game? If so, they're doing a dang fine job at it. The timing of all this is unbelievable...

This is some really serious ****. It's getting so bad that I can't concentrate on handicapping, what with all these positives and all the PVAL news, etc.



I wouldn't wanna be involved in a game with bad PR, would I?

Yeah, it really is terrible seeing this squeaky clean game tarnished by the evil doings of " somebody. "

All I'm saying is that it's been a crappier media year than most. I feel like I've been in permanent damage control mode since May.

It's not like this is anything new for Asmussen.

Right, but the problem is that once again racing is forced to be reactive because they have been far short of proactive on the drug issue for WAY too long.

I'll agree to that.

Now pass me a hit of lidocaine to get me through the rest of the week!

you get out what you put in....


the reciprocity that states show when one sits a jockey, or when one sits a trainer, should be carried through in that a positive in one state counts as a positive on the trainer, period. this joke that dutrow is facing a first-timers penalty in kentucky has got to stop.
criminals, other than trainers, who commit a crime in one state, do not see that crime disappear from their record if they move to another state. the same thing should apply here!

Don't you think you are a little over the top with your "criminal" comparisions? I mean, just a little???
