Ok, Phil, I'll help you back off the ledge here.

Spectacular Bid prepped for the Kentucky Derby by winning the Hutcheson, the
Fountain of Youth, the Florida Derby, the Flamingo and the Blue Grass. He still
had enough gas in the tank to win the Derby and Preakness. A safety pin prevented
him from winning the Triple Crown. He went on to have a 4YO season which may have
been the most brilliant ever of any thoroughbred running on dirt.

I'll say it again. PETA/Assmussen was probably an inside job. The fact that PETA
has not been more visible at American racetracks and training facilities over the
years might be attributable to the possibility that PETA receives a lot of money
from the thoroughbred industry. PETA and Joe Drape could have released this
information much closer to the Derby for maximum damage. PETA did not call for
all Racing to cease, but rather called attention to legislation currently before
Congress.

With the money PETA likely receives from the thoroughbred industry they can turn
their attention to fur wearing celebutards, laboratory rats, and puppy mills.

Racing goes on. Scott Blasi is somewhere washing his mouth out with soap.
Assmussen lost one owner but will likely be represented in both the Oaks and the
Derby. Everybody from Ogden Phipps on down got an opportunity to make a soundbite
to reaffirm their commitment to the well being of the equine. There is always the
distant possibility that something positive will come out of Blasigate, but I
will not be holding my breath.
