And here I thought from the title that this was going to take me to task for tabbing Davis as the 1st to flip, now that it's known that Harn will plead guilty this morning. Per JB, the disclosure today that all three have for the past yr been collecting on counterfeit copies of uncashed tix qualifies as "all hell breaking loose", especially for my friends at Autotote. At least I was right about the addition of a certain respected and popular NYorker, none other than Mayor Rudy, recently described in the WSJ as the "embodidment of credibility."
My beef with Julie and the press coverage of Julie has nothing to do with how she looks. She spent a considerable period of time before her retirement riding while she was taking powerful psychotropic drugs for clinical depression, something which was not disclosed to the betting public, trainers, owners, or other jockeys. The way I see it, her conduct placed the property and safety of others at risk without their knowledge, something which Mall, who is all in favor of widely available treatment & removing the medieval stigma attached to mental illness, does not approve of.
