Yes they are true.
He will also be honoring Oscar Barrera at Gulfstream.
If Teflon Todd is laying in a lounge chair and training from his Blackberry while soaking up the sun and occasionally hitting the first tee at The Green Monkey while the other Green Monkey rots away in his stall something will eventually start to give.
He is being paid big money by big money cliets to win races and enhance the value of their assets. If he isn't around to do it they can always find someone else who will. If the win percentage begins to drop while he is away people will get grumpy. (For these reasons I actually think it will not. His stock will probably be tee'd up pretty good for the assistants.)
I am sure the assistants are good. His operation is too big for anything else to be the case. And I am even counting the ones Teflon Todd actually hired himself, if you get my drift.
But lets not think there isn't progress being made in the drug front. No these guys should not be getting paid, should not be allowed anywhere near the track and should be subject to other restrictions while sitting in the penalty box.
The names Pletcher, Dutrow, Norman, Lake, Asmussen, etc were always suspects and now have been proven guilty. The only ones who should be more embarrassed than these guys is the various State Racing Commissions and Tracks who resisted doing something about what everyone else already knew was happening in front of their eyes.
STOP THE RAMPANT CHEATING, AND STOP IT FOR GOOD.........
