He is an idiot. He believes that this was a big deal because they shipped the horse from CA and had to scratch. Like Mullins is on the hook for that expense.

hell, they gave back all the entry fees. pfft. yeah, he's out shipping that horse, but it was part of a group, so how much are we talking really?

too many folks are too quick to excuse stuff like this, to downplay it as tho it's no big deal. mullins broke the rules, claims he didn't know, and that he was only giving air power. as tho anything he says shouldn't be held under scrutiny. as tho he has so much credibility, and we should just say 'oh, ok'. hehe, carry on.

"To put an end to this unfortunate event, I take responsibility for the infraction and accept the penalty imposed. I have dedicated my life to caring for Thoroughbred racehorses. I owe it to I Want Revenge, his owners, the racing fans, and, indeed, the entire racing industry to end this distraction now."


oh, such a martyr for the cause.

I'm sure the industry is loaded with trainers who are "smart" but couldn't win a race if they were handed a cloned Dr. Fager.

Good point. But Mullins doesn't appear to be the problem, to me.

Good grief, can't tarnish the Derby with the shoddy machinations and ignoring/breaking of the rules by the Derby entry trainers.

Gag.

he just seems to come off as a rank amateur. for a guy who's been in the business 'for years', he seems to come off as a rank amateur in this case.
