Theres sneaky guys in horseracing. I could be wrong but I think Mandella is the real deal. I think he cares about his horses and I don't think he juices them.
I thought pointing out another real horseman was appropriate: Allen Jerken's Puzzlement is fighting for his life. Heres what Allen said:
"I just hope they can save his life first," he said. "We'll worry about racing later.":

I like his 2nd string horse but you have to wonder if 10 marks is going to be an issue, at what class will it show itself. Granted the two fading 9 mark losses were to Mineshaft and Megadeath. But I do get the sense he may be better suited to a different surface. (Or maybe he just likes the Fairgrounds - Spanish Empire however did not beat much on New Orleans Day) Caveat: His last work sure looks like Mandella tried to put a little more pizazz in him.
Theres some interesting horses in here, the scratch made it a better race.
