As far as "The Robot" (Pletcher) goes, it seems he gets some sort of preferential treatment. The guy was found with a positive two years ago for a horse that ran at the Spa. He got 45 days. When did he serve the suspension? In the dead of fvcking winter when nobody was running anywhere that mattered. He should have served his 45 day suspension at the next Saratoga meet. If you think this guy is clean, I have a bridge for sale.

I don't really give a sh!t. i pay my dough and watch them go and understand that there is a lot of underhanded crap going on. It is part of the game and always will be.
