I don't think the Jockey overweight thing has "legs". They'll catch the couple individuals involved and discipline them. Self interest will always lead some to bend the rules, whether they are jockeys or national guardsmen flying obsolete jets.

I'm not certain P.Snort is gonna get a chance at that Stakes Victory Party. One of the Stewards that has it in for him moved up to the CHRB. What PVal needs to do is seek higher office. Snorting is not held in the same disregard in some lines of work.

The Fu's are experiencing a little early Triple Crown Prep problem finding a race. Apparently Drysdale wanted to "turn back" FuSham after his strenuous 6.5 mark maiden romp. His target was the 6 mark San Miguel, but he says rains have interfered with training so that race is out. Theres a big difference between maidens and winners, especially horses that have been knocking stakes head. Does Drysdale seem worried to you? He does to me. FuMan Ruler seems to be exhibiting the typical "Prospector" ouchy issues. He returned from a work sore and also is out of the stamina evaluating San Miguel. The FuPig I like best is Killenaule. He rated behind in the "Storm Cat" and finished with good energy to win by five. He's been beat by Rockport Harbor, but that one may be the top young horse just now.
