Instead of the small fines, and "days" where they continue to run things from a cell phone, they should be suspended for life after so many times testing positive.

How many times can you slap someone on the wrist?

Sorry for the rant, but I have been angry about this since the momment I saw Assmusen in the winner's circle last Saturday. I think Curlin is an incredible horse, I just wish he had a trainer that didn't get to where he is with a needle.

Honestly, who would not have rather seen Helen Pitts in that circle last Saturday?
I wasn't dismissing it completely and I certainly didn't say that. I was putting Assmusen aside to speak to the larger issue of the connections which the majority of the article spoke to. That's all.
