Lets lay down some conspiracy framework.

I know Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I'm certain of it, but then I took the time to read the Warren Commission Report.

Its clear that New York City was not attacked by our own government on 9-11. Its equally clear that government was negligent in allowing it to happen and criminal in misrepresenting it to America.

I can't think of any other consipiracies, because my mind doesn't work that way.

On the other hand, Todd Pletcher is using drugs to cheat and if it wasn't for Steve Allday and his "titrations" (Which I believe are a combination to increase red blood cells and reduce latic acid) Todd Pletcher would be just another trainer that might have to wait two or five years to get back in the Derby instead of proclaiming, (As he did Saturday), "I'll be back with a dozen next year". He may be back, but I believe more thorough and more accurate blood tests await him.

The real shame is that outfits like Team Valor that should know better stoop to embrace him and owners that only know their millions don't have a clue he is cheating.
