Tony, you illustrate the problem perfectly. You're a fairly involved gambler. You love the risk and reward of the game. You're invested in it. You purchase the best products, travel to events on a fairly regular basis and consider yourself fairly proficient. But you've never once really felt the pulse of the event. You're too busy, somewhat unobservant and respectfully disengaged. It takes attention to detail and/or a very sharp wit to ascertain the things that exist just under the surface. The things that you can't see, the things no one will tell you about. (Almost no one)

In that regard, lets address your charge that I bring up the Plech's August 2002 problem all the time. Tony, I watched it when it unfolded and knew from speed figures and Plech's evasive comments that his horses were dying from reaction to being over medicated, but this is the very first time I have posted the public details. How can one determine the truth when one can't even ascertain or remember the facts? But try focusing upon the event rather than whether its been repeated.

Spa gets hung up in an illustration of why folks like Irwin avoid the truth, by ignoring the evasion and focusing upon the resolution.

Blindhound gets verbose and then apologetic. At least he's thinking about it.

I'm not sure why I sometimes take the time to lead the wild mustangs here to the water hole. Well, then again, yes I do. I don't really care about the mustangs. I actually prefer their ignorance. But, the game needs a major correction and nothing would send a stronger message to all the cheaters than to ban the games top cheater and his Vet.

Plech is and has been doping and is getting away with it. I can't say it anymore clearly than that.
