Mr. Brown

The public could care less about cheating as is evident by packed baseball,football,bicycle,etc. events and I should give up on racing as fixed and forget about it.

As a small participant; and not having the inside as to who is juiced or not today, my chances of winning a bet or my horse winning a purse are slim.

I should not have taken the liberty to post on this board with all you big guys and you probably should have blocked my post.

I was only trying to point out that cheating is being "allowed" NOT trying to be stopped by the powers that be as a result of no enforcement. There is no reason not to cheat if you are trying to stay in the game as it is.

Wasn't it Seabiscuit's trainer that was suspended years ago for spraying an inhalant down his nose?

Looking around the web I came across Dogwood Stables where Mr. Campbell was pissing and moaning about the high costs of his vet service . I also saw that he was presenting some award in Saratoga for doing good for racing. Then lo and behold, I found on one of his entries that Patrick Biancone was his trainer! Duh?

I am not a vet or biochemist, but when 15 of 30 stakes winners test over the limit for anything, either the test is wrong, the limit is too low or someone is cheating.

It would not be that hard to set limits or restrictions and enforce them if it was wanted. Until vets, trainers and owners and their horses are barred from the sport for cheating nothing will change.

I can assure that if and when the owners and breeders have only themselves to buy from and sell to and the whales have to bet with each other something will change.
