In what country is someone guilty because of the opinions of some anonymous horseplayer whose highly subjective interpretations of race results and horse performances is the primary evidence?

I happen to be one of your few fans because you are so willing to go against the grain of dominant opinion here, but you are losing me on this one.

I remember Left Bank and his huge move forward (that entire period), but I would have to revisit the story to form a strong opinion. I don't remember many of the details of the races that contributed to his figures. A single TG Sheet wouldn't cut it for me.

However, I am very familiar with Lawyer Ron and think it's preposterous for anyone to "leap" to the conclusion that illegal drugs account for his recent improvement. To me, anyone with more than casual understanding of this game should be able to appreciate that LR was rank on a fairly consistent basis in his races last year - even when he was beating weaker. That problem has obviously been corrected and allowed him to improve. Furthermore Barry has given us a very good reason for why the horse was behaving that way last year. It was a motivation in his recommendation to purchase the horse. Lastly, do you really find it shocking that a 4YO that had a few nice races as a 3YO is suddenly running faster at 4? It's practically the norm!

Pointing to weak circumstantial evidence is not proof. No one here is saying that TP never cheated. They are saying there are very good reasons he could be having this success without cheating. So the burden is on people like you.
