Kicked out of France, Hong Kong, and found with snake venom. Must not be his

So,since it has no therapeutic value for a horse and is barred from being on the racing grounds.Mr.B should be looking at a LONG vacation.It will be interesting to see this outcome.

troubling:

The next possible step would be a hearing before the racing authority, after which the case could go into the court system, meaning resolution could be months, if not years, away.

How many chances do you give a guy like Biancone

Hes been kicked out of 2 countries

[Left Bank]

Well,this is where the tracks themselves should be stepping in.They banned all these jockeys this spring with no proof presented,yet Mr.B{and other trainers} is/are caught red handed with a banned substance and continue on.Double sided if you ask me.

3 is too many, IMO.

Agreed, but what will his defense be?

Maybe...


"Do you know how successful I am? Don't you think its possible people are out to get me?"

I know we have heard that one before...

Maybe they just keep the venom on hand incase someone gets bit by a cobra at Turfway. Then they can quickly come up with an antidote to counteract the bite of a Kentucky Cobra

How about trainers who get positives have to endure a dose of whatever crap they're putting in these horses?

Eye for an eye.

I have heard the Kentucky Cobra can be as deadly as the Adirondack Barking Spider...

[The Bid]

If Biancone could smoke the venom he probably wouldnt mind. Very rarely do you see him without a cigarette, amazing his barn hasnt been blown up from lighting up within 500 feet of his stable

If a trainer ever tells you he wants to, "show you his snake", run ....

I don't think another country is going to be an option for Biancone, at least not for quite some time, if he is proven guilty. This offense will most certainly result in prison time.

[ALostTexan]

What exactly would he use snake venom for?

[unassailable08]

inject him with the Cobra Venom

so he can know what if feels like.

What Vet in their right mind would inject it.

Does Patrick Biancone know how to do that?

[The Bid]

His vet is private. They were in it together would be a fair assumption
