You wrote; 1) “what race is the C.E.O. of Taco Belle entered in today?” 2) “will he bounce back from missing a few training days?” 3) “has the medication he took for his illness been discharged from his body?” 4) “MOST IMPORTANTLY;what's his sheet look like?”

1) Cute! My point was to make sure there is a thorough investigation looking into all possible scenarios before jumping on the trainer. What guarantee or safeguarding is available for a Taco Bell or the lettuce growers? Or both? Obviously the consumer attacked Taco Bell immediately before there was a thorough forensic exam. And because they have $4Billion at stake, they will be sure to defend themselves.
2) Smart and athletic horses most often bounce back if there was just an acute issue and not a chronic ailment.
3) Some horses are ready to run but the condition books are not friendly. If the perfect race is written for a few days after his/her medication for some minor ailment and it’s not a performance enhancing drug, why should the horse/athlete and it’s owner be penalized. Are the athletes we bet on in football etc, asked to be “discharged” of any of their drugs? Prescription, herbal or over the counter?
4) Yes important question. As a horse owner for over 25 years, my horses’ sheet numbers sometimes look odd but maybe it is because he/she had a stuffy nose that day or a chronic allergy to an external irritant. Would you know that as a bettor by looking at sheets?
5) not sure what the private joke is about.. (“ ps bobphilo,its a rag
pss robes,not that kind of rag”)
