I find it interesting that the same trainers who have received both numerous and serious suspensions related to drug violations are also the same trainers whose horses often show dramatic improvement when said trainers take over their care.

It's probably just a coincidence.

I think what is telling is the CONSTANT movement. I mean if you move up 40% well then you are a good trainer, but when you are moving up 80%-90% of your claiming stock, it isn't hard to come to the assumptions that we are coming to.

It is like when Brady Anderson hit 50 HR's, everyone knew he was roiding, but Major League Baseball.

I can't wait until that list comes out. I bet you there is ZERO Cubs on it besides Sosa, which is why we have sucked for so long. Haven't had the GOOD STUFF!!!

i find it interesting that a guy who claims he's for integrity in the sport hired one of those trainers.
