i love horses and racing, but i was absolutely disgusted the day big brown won the derby.
i don't think i'll ever forget the lanzman horse, don'tsellmetofelons. that pretty much sums up ieah, the people behind it... i doubt racing is suffering from those people being gone, or from dutrow being out of the game. and like the article said, people 'like rick'. there's a lot of likeable people in racing, doesn't mean they're clean or honest.

I could have written this story with 90% accuracy the day of the 2008 Belmont. The only part I would have missed was Brown finishing last, though I felt he wasn't winning. I bet against- foolishly- and was sick about them winning the first two legs, but cleaned the Belmont and was absolutely ecstatic about him and Desormeaux pulling up. Schadenfreude

I wasn't unhappy that he lost the Belmont, but pulling up became news when really he should've just had a lousy finish. People thought a Charismatic-like situation was going on, and it wasn't. I rewatch a lot of old races but that Belmont I just avoid.
IEAH (and Iavarone in particular) always seemed smarmy. You could feel it through the television in a 'I don't know why, but I don't like those guys' kinda way. I didn't realize the extent of their behavior though. I want to know what's going to happen to that Ruffian Equine Medical Center. I hope it really is a viable thing that can help horses and doesn't just get sold in pieces then leveled.
