Alm,

I think you don't get it.TAP has so many horses that he can't have them all in one place, stall space etc. The horses are evaluated and sent to circuits where they can do their best according to the competition/condition book. For example, Monmouth has weak horses so TAP's second string/third string runners dominated there as did NY Trainers Tricky Ricky and Kentucky Bruce,easy pickings.Much the same for TAP at the AP meet.

At the premier race meet in this country, Saratoga, TAP's stable not only did not dominate but underperformed for the first time in years.Exactly why is not known but he suddenly has quite a few slow horses in the NY barn, especially the 2yr olds. To you, without any knowledge whatsoever, its because NY is suddenly "watching" for illegal things which he can no longer use but in New Jersey and AP he is still able to use illegal stuff.I guess NY wasn't watching Billy Mott who's horses were running holes in the wind the entire meet, he must have been juicing,that crook Mott.


To most who know or deal with TAP, he's a nice guy, personable, sharp and intelligent.That means zero when it comes to whether or not he is using illegal stuff. I never inferred that being a good guy on the surface meant he wasn't juicing horses. As far as Johnny V not riding near his best, you would not have a clue. TAP's loyalty to Cordero/Johnny V is well known and only owner insistence will cause a rider change.

You have no idea what, if anything, TAP is or isn't doing, nor do I.You completely ignore, or don't even know, that there has NEVER been a stable of runners put together like those TAP has had the past 6 years.The results achieved by TAP over the years is nothing special when you look at his stock and there are many trainers who could have done as well or better, imo.

He has one bullshit positive, which again, those who know very little should research in the NY STATE Wagering Board Archives.It's revealing.

Also,Mullins is NOT winning at 10% in Cali, it's higher, and New Jersey BC runners can/will be randomly tested for the bad stuff according to a ruling passed yesterday.
