There absolutely needs to be a national governing board for take action on whether or not Asmussen or any trainer would be eligible for punishment outside of Louisiana....this is too much power to give the politically corrupt state of Louisiana...I am from the state and love it with all of my heart, but I've seen bad Louisiana politics long enough to know how to spot it when I see it...Unfortunately, it happens regularly around those parts...

my husband is from louisiana...yeah, i understand about preaching to the choir.
of course this is the same governing body who sat a jock for a year because they felt he didn't ride a horse to win in a qualifying race. was it a meche? can't remember....but seems LA likes to hand out very harsh sentences, at least to some. it's a shame that LA has such a bad rep as being so corrupt. hell, how else explain nagin winning re-election??
