The media does not do themselves any good when they go on an ESPN Horse Racing Telecast as Randy Moss did and unequivocally state that, "Trainer Patrick Biancone has told me there is absolutly nothing to the Cobra Venom story." This might have been when they ran the American Oaks because only two days before Biancone won the Cash Call Mile. As though this Grade I win was evidence he doesn't cheat.
[b]Moss essentially called the Kentucky Racing Commission, John Veitch and Lisa Underwood vigilante investigators and liars on National Television.[/b] Jerry Bailey quietly sat next to him and said nothing.
Another prime example is when Kurt Hoover (does he qualify as media) stated on HRTV or perhaps a fill in day on ESPN if he had a bunch of horses and raced them on the east coast Rick Dutrow would be his trainer.
Dutrow was promptly given a six month suspension.
Why [b]whore oneself[/b] for access to information. I just don't get it.
