Remember a few years back after the Eight Belles fiaso, the government was getting involved to clean up the sport? Man, did that disappear, didn't it? I also find it interesting that Larry Jones, who seems like a good guy but wins at far too high a percentage to be doing it legitimately, "retired" right about the time these investigations were going to get into full gear. I find it very interesting that he's returned to the sport after the "noise" has stopped. He kind of slithered back into the game without anyone really noticing. No one finds that coincidental?

Bottom line, almost all of the high percentage trainers are taking an edge. Dirtballs like this Guerrero pig is over the top. But there is no way that Baffert, etc etc aren't using something, as well. Otherwise, they'd be the greatest trainer of all time when they win at such a high percentage against those other trainers that are cheating.

Only one trainer we KNOW isn't cheating. Jack Van Berg.

Yeah, Larry Jones retired, his wife took over and she still won with him calling the shots from the backround.

PETA isn't intelligent enough to make something like this work and they aren't interested in doing it....unless there is a lot of press in it for them.

Bingo.
What makes you think that PETA wants to get involved with say Tuesday night racing at Mountaineer? No national focus, no media of any kind and so on. All PETA likes to do is pile on something when the media spotlight is on. Obviously Eight Belles is the best example in the bigest race of the year with the whole country watching. It was a perfect forum for those frauds. All that talk about Eight Belles on Derby Day. It's funny, I didn't hear a single mention from PETA about Chelokee breaking down in the Alysheba the day before. I guess not enough people were watching.

Keep them far away from the sport.
