This morning in a workout the Belmont Thief balked. She took a funny step and was pulled up. Pletcher couldn't see a thing wrong, so he's called in his "go to guy", "Allday the Needle". Allday is going to give her a good "going over", which probably means what you suspect.


First off if you read the recent issue of Bloodhorse which featured a profile and interview of Dr. Allday, he states that he is 100% for drug free racing. His expertise is in analyzing problems.

He hasn't administered a needle to a horse in years and years. Guys like TAP are super sharp, with 100-150 million dollars worth of horse, they also outwork everyone and outspend everyone on every supplement or therapy available.

Jerry you need to stop the morons who populate your board from slandering people.
