"I am talking about the kinds of accusations that are leveled against some trainers because almost their entire barn is running so well - though obviously Pletcher falls into that category."

Who are you talking about? Be specific or please stop.

"You obviously believe that TP is using all sorts of performance enhancers."

You are dense beyond belief. I don't BELIEVE he is using all sorts of performance enhancers. HE IS USING THEM, and some of them are ILLEGAL. He's been caught REPEATEDLY. You are DENSE! If Pletcher jabbed a needle in your ass you STILL wouldn't believe it. Wow. Can you read? It's just unreal.

"Do you have a list of everything he is using?"

No.

"Are you sure they are all on the list of banned substances?"

No.

"I think perhaps many trainers are using things that haven't even been identified yet let alone put on a list of banned substances! That's why the default has to be everything is illegal except X, Y, Z..... There will always be some people that are a little sharper and have greater resources than others. They will get ahead of the general learning curve when it comes to nutrition, medications, vet procedures etc.... Until you say it is illegal, it is legal."

Why are you making this point and what does it have to do with what's on this thread? Until you say it is illegal, it is legal. Who does this apply to? You just hijack the thread and start blabbering nonsense. And then you cry that you get grief for posting this crap.

From now on, I'm just going to skip your name on the page, so unless you change your name from "classhandicapper" you won't have to worry about any more responses from this corner.

Keep cashing with your great insights on lightly raced high quality stock.
