Isn't it more of a massive f-u to the other owners. Defrong went wire-to-wire. But if Massochistic had dueled him into defeat and it turned out he tested positive and was essentially a non-runner how would you feel?

I know this forum is bettors centric but if any people should be livid it should be the other owners.

Btw... I personally don't feel anyone should be upset by this but the owners kinda have a case.

However I do think given Ellis knew their was a chance the horse was going to test positive and had an option to scratch and rolled the dice and lost. Given that coupled with its a championship race he deserves a punishment above and beyond.

Personally I think he banned from running horses in at least one Breeders Cup.
It is an FU to bettors because they let a horse run that they knew was highly likely to fail a drug test. I don't know how you can't see that. What do I care about the owner? The owner's employee cheated. Now we know why he skipped the prep race.
