i think you're still oversimplifying. there's more to it than them saying they ran horses at less than 100%.
it's not just that tape that has me saying he should stay away. two racing jurisdictions, two of the largest in the country (one being ky) are conducting investigations based on the video and the report compiled by peta.

yes, it's peta. so, we just ignore the entire message because we don't like the messenger? we just conduct business as usual?
doing the right thing isn't always easy. sometimes it's painful. but at this point, i think the sport would be better off if people like SA were not involved.
had the kid gloves come off several years back, we wouldn't be having this discussion now. people keep saying we don't want the feds invovled. well, talk is cheap. keep turning a blind eye, and then we can some day discuss why things went south.

It's been edited to fit an agenda. Months and months of tape was condensed into a few minutes to spark outrage (mission accomplished).

What is the right thing here? Thinking he should have to step away from his job because of the video? Don't agree.

Maybe the sport would be better off without some trainers. I'm of the opinion that if you are going to take away someone's livelihood, you need a better reason than that video. You can't punish him now, again, for what he has done in the past.

So I'll ask again, what in the video did you see, that warrants him stepping away?
