CH-- RHT and Imperialism would not only have trouble with the top inner track horses, they would get whipped by them-- but only under the circumstances (ahem) that exist over the inner track.
RHT and Imperialism haven't been running against older horses, they've been running in races restricted to 4yos, almost all of them local. Tomorrow they face what most would agree is not a top field of older horses-- take a look at how Congrats, Lundy's Liability and Supah Blitz did against Eastern horses, compared to how they've done out west. The only real good one is Saint Liam, and there are a lot of reasons to think he may not fire, as I said in ROTW.Let's see how it plays out.
Mr. Hill-- Vlado and I aren't exactly pals these days, but I was pretty close to the situation when ETS was running, and I can tell you with a fair degree of confidence that he wasn't using anything then, since he was trying to help me get the crap stopped, and was the one who put together the petition all the trainers signed asking management to build a detention barn. My guess is that he got tired of getting beat, and tired of not enough being done about what all the trainers knew was going on.
