Barry congrats on TVs victory yesterday. I also enjoyed your tribute to Doc Harthill at the back of the recent Blood Horse. I remember Doc Harthill from my days at the Fair Grounds in the early 80s, when Louis Roussel purchased the track from the Dorignac family and basically gave Doc Harthill free run of the place.
Pete Axthelm once said "The only thing better than a lie is a true story which no one can believe." I have some of those sort of stories about Doc Harthill, but now is not the time for them.
If you have been following these threads, you know I asked a question yesterday and would love an answer. This spring at Oaklawn, you fired your newly hired private trainer after a horse he saddled came back positive. I admire your zero tolerance stance and your belief in "hay oats and water".
My question again: If Todd Pletcher had an animal come back positive (not necessarily a TV horse) would he continue to train Team Valor horses?
