Apparently, Dick Jerardi thinks Robert Cole and Scooter Davis are victims. Of course, he did glorify Juan Carlos Guerrero, so why not?

It really looks like they're playing games with Scooter and Cole for claiming a cheap maiden off of a female trainer who won only a single race last year and may not have but a horse or two left to train.

My father liked to tell a story of when he first got into training and claimed a horse that had just ran 52 4/5 and won for 2k at Charles Town.

He said half the track was furious with him for claiming the horse because it was the guys last horse. He eventually blew up in the racing office and said 'why the fucl<s that assh@ole running him for $1,500 after he just won for 2,000? I don't know how many horses he has -- and I don't care either.'

It ended up being one of his best claims. He won a bunch of races with him.
