So is your ignorance.

Please give everybody here an explanation of how you can oppose what is happening to Baffert (which is your right)...while simultaneously saying you care about the sport. Otherwise, you are taking a legitimate issue and making it Political. That is why you got flamed by me the other day. Idiots like you aren't fooling anybody.

What's pitiful is the way some people excuse his record at the expense of the Industry and the expense of the Horses he trains.

What is not necessary is for you to reply to my posts. It is absolutely your right to...but just remember...you were told.

No at all. Your previous post said something about somebody stealing $500 and $5,000,000. Should they get the same time. Actually people who rob banks and get $500 get much more prison time than white collar criminals who steal millions in most cases. That's our fine legal system at work. As far as your drug analogy goes. I agree the big smuggler should get more time but that has nothing to do with the topic. Baffert has been caught 29 times in over 40 years in the sport. I wouldn't call that excessive. I have no problem with him being suspended and his horse being DQ'd . I just think banning him from the sport for 2 years is excessive considering the drugs in question weren't even performance enhancing.

Some of us, through various means, have skin in this Sport/Business/Game. We all know there are a lot more "Bafferts" out there. Baffert himself was the one who thought he was "too big to fail" and shit all over North America's signature Horse Race. He is getting what he has coming. And those of us with said skin in the game want EXACTLY that to happen.

If that is too much for you to process...tough shit.

Why are you so lathered up, anyway, about something I said TO SOMEONE ELSE???
