Whats sad about the state of Ny racing to me ,is the condition of the top trainers thoroughbreds.I have had numerous opportunities to see horses belonging to these top stables during morning works,and to see just how cripple some (most) are at that hour of training and then to see the magic of them winning at racetime,certainly makes the reality of blocks,pain medication,and race enhancing drugs a reality.They are putting the lives of these thoroughbreds ,and jockeys at risk of terrible consequenses.These trainers and vets need to be accountable,immediatly ,not after months and months of appeals.Also saw that the clockers ,on many occasions,don't get proper horse ,or proper time.So although this is not a political forum,there are many factors going on that affect those trying to handicap unknowing all the correct facts.And I promise this will be the last I have to post on this subject as I know this is a handicapping forum,but its hard not to respond to some of these posts of "suspended trainers"I wonder though what the break down ratio is of those in traning and running at the Hong Kong circuit,I have a feeling with no drug policy it is alot less then here in NY.
