TGJB,
i don't know all that much about the rebate shops, other than the one i use is legit, and some others out there treat US tax laws like nyc residents treat "don't walk" signs. the stuff about illegal substances was great though. if guys like pletcher, velazquez, castellano, stronach, frankel, juddmont, and mandella really are performing at the level of the all-time greats, and they are doing it within the rules, they deserve the credit. if smarty, GZ, and some of the other great horses are performing as well as some of the all-time greats, they deserve the credit. if any of these entities are not playing within the rules, however, they need to be exposed. the problem in the current environment, however, is that many of today's stars are guilty until proven innocent. every time something great happens in this sport, there is suspicion. we now have a sport without stars, and that is a recipe for disaster. TGJB, i think your proposals will help the honest guys as much as they will hurt the cheaters. well done.
