i don't like that s--t.

suspend him a for a year....and its hard to believe the trainers he rides for don't know about it' they just don't get caught with it.

One has to be a DRF+ member to read that.

Attorney: "They got the wrong guy".

they may know, they may not. i don't imagine it's part of the process when talking to a jock or his agent.

that's what they all say!!

maybe he can say he borrowed his brothers pants. 'how'd that get in there?!' :D

Please, that takes me places I don't want to go with somebody about 5'2". :D

hey, now. i'm 5 2! :D

my dad was patting a guy down once...found drugs. and that's what the guy said, these are my brothers pants.

Ok, I'm 5'9". My ex was 5'7"... he said. Awfully short 5'7", though.:rolleyes:

Castillo cleared..

Great news for Castillo :)

yeah...good for him. but not so good for the other guy.

question....can a buzzer make a horse faster?

This is a story that is bad for everyone. And beyond the machine use, the way the hearing was conducted really exposes PRX as a cesspool.
