Mullins/Gato Go Win SCR story emerging

[pointman]

I don't know the rules, but I was under the impression that the connections cannot administer anything to the horse in the detention barn and if anything is to be administered, i.e. lasix, it is done by a NYRA vet. If this is not the rule, it should be.

The truth is until the syringe and the horse are tested, who knows what was in that syringe? And if the NYRA people allowed him to administer the drug under their supervision, then the procedures clearly need to be changed.

It seems to me that logic dictates that if he was going to administer it to IWR as well there must have been some reason for it other than to treat a cough, the odds are not too high that he had the only two coughing horses in the detention barn. If it is not for a cough and it doesn't enhance performance, what was the purpose?

As for Mullins comment regarding New York, sorry, Jeff, I don't feel sorry for someone who is unwilling to learn the rules of the racetrack they are racing at, particularly with regard to such big stakes. It sucks that you can't get away with things in New York that you can elsewhere.
