Here's the problem. Until they develop a test for SOMETHING, its not CHEATING. If you choose to play the game, you are really going to have to take SOMETHING into account when choosing what races and horses you play. It will remain that way until we see the proof/ positives. It would not surprise me if we see them next week. It would not surprise me if we never see them.

Are you kidding? It's not cheating to administer a performance enhancing drug/shake because others are doing it??
Rich,you sound like a "player" but you don't think that some trainers should be seriously eyed with suspicion?

In the absence of any explanation other than horemanship ,Rick Dutrow is the greatest trainer on the New York Circuit, by far.His ability to have his horses run their eyeballs out, CONSISTENTLY, off layoffs along with his overall general excellence is remarkable.

On Sunday,off three days rest, he sent out Crafty Player to a lifetime Pace Top( and maybe TG FIG TOP) in a dead send duel against Smokey Is A Bandit, who was far superior on three different sets of pace figs.I guess that's superior horsemanship, or being stabled at Aqueduct. What other explanation could there be?
