You're absolutely right about the "dutch uncle" talk. Heard the same story today from another reliable source. The "other" trainer, an ex-jockey son of a retired trainer, seems to have fallen off the face of the earth and has been shipping horses to DEL & PHA in an attempt to win a purse. Hey, it still works for Lake who hasn't obtained persona non grata status in either of those venues yet.
As for some of the others, I think the difference is that the "good juicers" are using things like EPO (as opposed to run of the mill stimulants or pain killers), and they still don't test for that in NY. I wonder what NYRA will do when they begin testing for it and learn that some of Saratoga's leading trainers use the stuff on virtually all their stock, sometimes with lethal results?
