Just for the Kentucky Derby, right? I don't think Harthill made regular trips to CA to treat Sunday Silence...but maybe he did. Steve Allday used to make monthly visits a couple of years back.

I dont think Allday did much work for CW. He was private for Paulsen in Califoria. Harthill was on call and would make "field trips". NY famously would not let him on the grounds when SS was going for the TC. If that happened now....

What can Allday give DrugS?

The story goes Hancock couldn't give Sunday Silience away and finally Charlie Whittingham took him? You should be so lucky

The fact is my dear Sir is that this miserable son of Halo developed an industry.. The fact is if the WHO's Who of 1989 had a clue they would have NEVER let him go.. BUT I GUESS the WHO"S who is still holding on to the miserable unguided DrugS like opinions they had in 1990...This is a special horse that you all missed its OK you are part of the ALL.. The sad fact is IF SSilience would have stood in Ireland your tune would have been different and you would be singing the Danehill,Sadlers praises for him.. It's ok to get on board late better late then never..lol

And he was a most likely a juice horse and yet he still turned out to be a great sire. Imagine that.

That horse would have could have and should have been the most important stallion to breed in the states...Juice??? Look I have no clue and frankly nobody really knows for sure. The horse was simply awesome and NOBODY is a bigger Phipp's/Shug fan then I.. Easy Goer was a 3 legged monster G-d Forbid he had four sound legs. The "stuff" only takes them so far Barry Bond would still have been a HOF player without stuff.. Same thing with horses.. We all wish we could buy a horse for 10k treat them with 20k of med's and win a million bucks.. The horse/athelete still needs to be extraordinary if you want extraordinary resolutes on the track or in the shed.. Juice is just the difference between grade 1 third place and grade 1 photo for the winners check IMO

I'm an admitted fan of the horse, and therefore incapable of anything close to an unbiased opinion on the matter, but all of the "evidence" in the Sunday Silence case that I have ever heard never seems to amount to much of anything.
It always just seems to be a lot of whining from Easy Goer fans.

I remember when Pletcher brought Proud Accolade out here to run in the Hollywood Futurity. Allday came out too. CHRB investigators followed him wherever he went. They wouldn't let him out of their sight.

I don't know if they normally bother him when he comes out here. If he comes out here to work on some horses that aren't running for a couple of weeks, I don't know if they bother him or not. I just remember that when he came out here for the Futurity that year, they followed him everywhere he went.
