I've started calling a duck what looks like a duck.
The biggest duck in racing is Coolmore and those associated with Coolmore. Tabor was banned for life back in the 70s for paying off jockeys. Being a bigwig, he got the life ban reduced to a few years. Coolmore's jockey in Europe is currently indicted and going to trial any day now for race-fixing. One of their trainers in the U.S. (Biancone) was banned for life from Hong Kong and has been caught with highly illegal substances and from what I hear, will be getting a substantial if not life ban from the Kentucky Racing Commission soon. These are all indisputable FACTS.
THen we have rumors/opinion. Another of Coolmore's trainers (Pletcher) is suspected by many to not be clean. That trainer uses as a vet (Allday) the man considered to be the current day Harthill. Many trainers, owners, and press people believe that this year's Belmont was fixed by Tabor and his two jocks in the race. Then there's the Green Monkey debacle where their sales fraud came back to bite them.
No bad loser here. Just tired of racing not getting the ducks out of racing. It doesn't take any real genius here to catch these guys and get rid of them, just the will to do it.
