I'm still planning my annual trip to Keeneland with friends in a few weeks, but this may be my last time for a while. I am not a big better (maybe $50/day loss limit) because I know what I don't know, but stuff like this makes it harder to get excited.

veterinarians, pharmacists and drug distributors are also named on a variety of charges related to drugs that were mislabeled or misbranded. According to evidence taken by federal investigators, those products were (or purported to be) blocking agents, masking agents, EPO agents, and products similar to clenbuterol and Viagra.

I don't know, I don't think it's a death knell. The industry has been in a decline for decades and this was clearly one of the reasons. If cheaters are caught perhaps, perhaps, it will lead to less cheating. Maybe less fatalities as well.

I think it probably is good in the very long term, but it will immediately be used by casino companies to get rid of as much racing as possible. There goes the welfare in Pennsylvania. That's probably not a bad thing.

This is a big deal. Supposedly the FBI is raiding farms in Kentucky and New Jersey. This may really wipe out racing.

I wonder how many of Baffert's horse will retire before it hits California.

Is European racing as tainted as ours?

No. And Japan and Hong Kong are clean as could be.

Just watch the horses load. It takes forever to load eight horses in the gate in the U.S. because the horses are cranked out of their minds. In Europe or Japan they load 15 horses and almost every one walks right in.

Not a sport.

Of course it's a sport, you dumbfuck.

Whatever you say, David Kaplan.

And get I thought horses were getting + transmitting coronavirus (before they drop dead, or course)! Instead we get a giant nothingburger in the form of our racehorses being jacked up to the gills on PEDs? You damn right I don't expect my equestrian athletes to be jacked up to the gills with the finest PEDs obscene amounts of money can buy! Remember what people used to say about Cub Legend Matt Clement and his world-renown durability? HE'S A HORSE! so it stands to reason that actual horses shouldn't back down from doing EVERYTHING in their (owners'/trainers') power to go out there and JUST WIN BABY!

they're.Fucking horses FFS. intrepid beasts for sure, but still, their whole lives are devoted to entertaining us and.emptying out the pockets of rubes for the likes of "people who know a thing or two about a horse or two" like JORR, or even people who can at least speak the language like spmackman. Srsly people who are NOT drugging up their horses to the brink of death should be bought up on charges for endangering the life lifestyle and most importantly the pocketbook of legends.like JORR.

Wake me.up when killer horseshit is transmitting COVID-19. until then fuck off and shoot up your nearest racehorse with the good shit plz.
