Life At Ten: An "update" coming

[Fearless Leader]

As it turns out, maybe Jeff Mullins wasn't completely off base when he spoke out a few years ago.

When Churchill Downs become CDI, it's sole objective like any corporation, is to return profit to shareholders. No company wants to pay out on a return of "1,000,000 boxes of detergent"

The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission voted there was probable cause to believe that both jockey John Velazquez and chief state steward John Veitch were in violation of regulations regarding Life At Ten’s participation in the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic at Churchill Downs during its monthly meeting March 10 at the Kentucky Horse Park near Lexington.

DRF|Life At Ten case may result in sanctions

Velazquez was cited for three possible violations under Kentucky racing rules, while Veitch was cited for five possible violations. Both will now face hearings to determine if the commission will seek penalties.

Life At Ten, the second betting choice, was never pressed in the race by Velazquez, who had said during a television interview during the post parade that Life At Ten was lethargic.

Considering that Malibu Prayer and Quality Road - and pretty much every Pletcher non-2yo were pressed ... Velazquez deserves a humanitarian award for his lack of effort.

I think the problem is he didn't take the lack of effort far enough. He just had to muster up the energy to get all chatty Cathy with Jerry Bailey and then take her into the starting gate.
