Interesting read, a stand up guy (he's proven it by coming on board here and
fighting for what he believes in). The last question involved the whole "Why did
you fire Ralph Nicks but not Todd Pletcher" issue, and BI continues to stick to
his guns there.

I may have to take issue with involving the FBI in cleaning up horse racing. On
the one hand (and this coming from a person who drives by Ground Zero 5 days
per week) the FBI has much more pressing issues to contend with. On the other
hand, the FBI's overzealous abuse of the PATRIOT Act to gather intelligence
about US citizens shows that the FBI may be reverting to tactics utilized by a
former Bureau head who enjoyed a good day at the races almost as much as he
enjoyed wearing women's clothing.

We have discussed it here plenty -- the problem is not catching cheaters, but
rather in punishing these cheaters in a manner which will have a deterrent
effect on further transgressions.
