And if someone finds the kind of evidence of the kind of performance enhancers they found with Navarro etc. they should not only toss Baffert but indict him. But that is NOT the case. We are talking about positives for drugs that have a negligible effect on outcomes. Ones where the risk/reward for abusing intentionally would be nuts.

Remember a few years ago when Joe Drape set out to make Assmussen look like a criminal? Remember how that turned out?

AGAIN— I’ve been fighting against PEDs longer and harder than anyone else in the industry. And I’m not tight with Baffert, we text a few times a year. But this stuff is BS. And I told NYRA that last summer. They got way ahead of their skis.

Meanwhile, the guys who got the Clenbuterol positives in Fla are still sending out starters at GP. We’re talking about a broncho-dilator with steroidal effects. Not to worry.
