LOL - so now the racing industry is corrupt, and yet you're immersed in it.

So what percentage of the blame should be attributed to you?

So where are the trainers that are losing to Baffert?


Where were they when Navarro and Servis where winning and juicing.


Money is being stolen from them in terms of purses going to the juicers.


Has a single trainer ever said a single word about Baffert's alleged juicing?


This is their livelihood for heavens sakes and they stay quiet. Hard to believe bustout gamblers when their peers are silent.

Was wondering had the pp's where a horse went to Baffert that was suddenly moved up 20 or 30 points?

Lot of experts here on Baffert so I assume someone could link...thanks in advance.

Actually one interesting data point was Maximum Security. We know he was doped before. He didn't backtrack.

his last two races were 101 and 106 Beyers, he was running 111 as a older three yea old.

He has gone backwards in terms of ability.

Another example?

Exactly. Ralph never accused him of cheating. The rest of you did.

Well, Baffert needs to be alittle lighter on his feet. Then again he may not do as well on soft Turf.

Best Dirt Trainer In America.

I’ve been following Baffert more seriously ever since he took over the training of War Emblem just before the KY Derby. There very well may be certain current allegations and negative commentary about his training techniques.

However, let’s face it there are a handful of excellent trainers who not only get top quality stock year after year, but they know how to keep their horses happy (without using drugs) and consistently running well.

Until they ban drugs entirely you’re always going to have controversy related to these type of accusations being made particularly about successful trainers.

Are the The Arkansas Derby (Charlatan) and Santa Anita Derby (Justify) "popular and visible races"?

Are Gamine and Hoppertunity "popular and visible" horses?

Hey I don't even know where that list came from. It doesn't really tell anything anyway.

I'm one who thinks of the word "sport" and all it implies to me. Clean and fair is true sport. Otherwise, I don't call it a sport.

I would need to see really good data on every trainer from a reputable source before singling him out.

For whatever reason, you go to jockey club, etc. and you would have to start looking under furniture to find such stats. I can go to hong kong racing and find any and every stat and data for anything and everything I can think of, including vet records for the horses I"m wagering. Start there, transparency is good. Greed is bad.

There is probably a difference between violators out outright cheaters, but w/out good data how would we know. Those 27 indictments last year did us no favors and it's actually hard to believe it took as long as it did to feret them out? Ad you dont' have someone like Gregory Settino stealing $1 million drugs from his company if there are no trainers or vets on the backside to buy 'em.

Then of course, lurking in the back of some minds: if Baffert ever gets nabbed, horse racing is OVER. The most successful trainer who has gotten the most PR in the sport......it would be the end of racing. I don't think anyone has to be a full-on conspiracy theory wanker to not have that at least cross their mind.

IMO, this is a key point. If Baffert is stealing from other trainers and powerful ownerships groups then how come no one dropped a dime on him?

Probably because a lot of them have their skeletons.
