andrews horse finished a well beaten fourth. 2nd place horse was also a claimer who won the invite 4 weeks in a row. is lou a cheater in the past ...yes. is lou cheating now ...yes. but what he is using is not in the horses blood or urine during testing. andrew imo should not be using his power of the media to attack lou.

The fact that the drug testing is woefully inadequate doesnt not mean that Sweet lou is any less guilty.

Oscar lives!!!!!!!! What was that Nike commercial? "Gotta be the Shoes"?

You have to admire when immigrants come to this country and get there pound of flesh. America was founded by people looking to live free and be productive. Congrats to Pena, Oscar would be so proud!!

from the update linked at the bottom of the column:


Thankfully, few readers even bothered to comment upon Pena's discrimination charges against industry leaders, although more than one person pointed out that Pena evidently was born in California and thus probably shouldn't have used the "English is my second language" line as an explanation for what some called his boasting of "an edge" for his horses. Pena's USTA records go back as far as 1984. You may reach your own conclusions about whether Pena has been a victim of poor translation from English to Spanish.



but i do question this:

Julie Miller refused to comment for this article. But I was told by two sources that the Millers were indeed gratified to have Real Joke claimed from them given the condition he was in at the time. Yet sure enough, two weeks ago, in Real Joke's first race for Pena, the pacer romped in a $50,000 claimer in a sparkling 1.48.4-nearly two full seconds off his lifetime mark and nearly four seconds faster than he had gone just the week before. And on Saturday, with an international audience, he reportedly limped around and out of the paddock before equaling the great Jennas Beach Boy's Big M mark.


if he was in bad shape, why wasn't he a vet scratch?

Slander •words falsely spoken that damage the reputation of another

What exactly did he say that wasn't true?

Pena is guilty as charged, everyone knows it and Cohen's point that noone in an official capacity seems to care or willing to do anything is really the story.

For future reference, slander is spoken. Libel is written.
