Cheaters Prosper at Calder Race Course

"I hope I am not placed in danger and that my name is not revealed," the informant wrote, adding that Ziadie often killed barn pigeons with a shotgun. "[If] he finds out... he is crazy and capable of killing me or paying someone else to do it for him."

Incredibly, state regulators closed their case against Ziadie a few months later when the informant abruptly disappeared.

The way that is written ... it makes it sound like Ziadie did a hit on him.


And now ... for the best part:

Presented with specific evidence of doping — including the drug-filled syringes his employee handed over to Calder — Ziadie admits to making "mistakes."

"How many horses have I trained?" he says. "Over a thousand. So to me, [41 positives] is nothing. That's just carelessness."

Then Ziadie becomes defiant, calling the employee who ratted on him a "fag got."

"I didn't want no fag gots working for me, so I fired him."

And he blames his bad reputation on the "enemies" he's made by winning at the track.

"Look at Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant," he says. "Any time you do anything in life and you are successful, they are always going to try to bring you down."

First time Kirk Ziadie off of a trainer change, Kirk Ziadie wins at just over 40% with an ROI in the $2.70's from a sample size of over 300 horses.

You don't consistantly move-up new horses ten to 15 points in weeks if you aren't taking a great big edge.

The Versace Mansion was listed at $125m this summer. Obviously it won't go for that, but it will go for more than the $47m hellhole.
