IEAH

[Merlinsky]

I wasn't unhappy that he lost the Belmont, but pulling up became news when really he should've just had a lousy finish. People thought a Charismatic-like situation was going on, and it wasn't. I rewatch a lot of old races but that Belmont I just avoid.

IEAH (and Iavarone in particular) always seemed smarmy. You could feel it through the television in a 'I don't know why, but I don't like those guys' kinda way. I didn't realize the extent of their behavior though. I want to know what's going to happen to that Ruffian Equine Medical Center. I hope it really is a viable thing that can help horses and doesn't just get sold in pieces then leveled.
