Chuck:
I am not going to get involved in any way in a mudslinging match between you
and Barry Irwin.
I think the attention you brought to Pletcher's 02 "die off", albeit 5 years
after the fact, was probably your finest moment.
The 02 die off and the subpar meet Pletcher is going through in 07 really do
nothing to "shift the burden" to TAP's supporters to establish TAP's status as
legitimate trainer.
As I have said in the past, the burden is really on you at this point to
continue to pursue the details of the die off. Autopsies were performed on all
3 deceased animals. Blood samples were drawn. Were these samples frozen? The
burden is actually on you and others who would discredit TAP to insist that
these frozen samples be retested in 07. Who knows what they might find?
While your treatment of the 02 die off was at times sublime, I must comment
without rancor that your contention that TAP is only "doping" (your word) the
graded stakes runners is ridiculous. This contortion of fact can take its place
next to the Bush Administration's WMDs and its predecessor of a half century
ago,the "Domino Theory", the military industrial complex's raison d' etre
for the waste of lives and money in Southeast Asia.
