Every year Arlington puts up the silks of the leading owner in the lobby, for all to see, Calabrese has his picture taken in front of them daily

Trust me, keep on following it, because in about 3-4 weeks, all these horses are going to be running back, and there will be major scores to be had in the Tri's and P3's, where alot of their money goes in.....
Scav..you should know that the testing available is not up to speed with advances in medicine.

But really this goes beyond suspicions of doping..it is unbelievable that they're winning at a 70% clip with all that can go wrong in a race, especially with claimers. It's simply naive and shortsighted to pronounce they're winning simply by reading a condition book properly and dropping horses in class. They aren't the only ones who do this and they're doing it with astronomical success that hasn't been seen by the likes of the greatest trainers in the history of the game.
