For what it's worth - I took the relevant paragraphs from dilanesp's post and put them into Grammarly's plagiarism checker. It came back "No plagiarism found."

But maybe Grammarly doesn't have Paulick report webpages in its database, you say.

I copied the relevant paragraphs from Paulick's own article and put them into the plagiarism checker. It came back "Significant plagiarism found."

Arcaro's story is familiar enough to racing history buffs.

Chad Brown posted two of the usual three stewards weren't working on Cigar Mile day, so maybe different ones handed out the suspension. Who knows really?

You are looking ridiculous at this point.

I'm supposed to be the one here who looks ridiculous. But no, it's you.

Highly unlikely it was personal. He got 30 days. If it was intentional, I think he'd be looking at least 6 months. Perhaps a year.

Riding very close to the edge is nothing new. Especially at elite levels. Irad is a VERY talented rider that will do everything in his power to push the envelope to win.

Heck this is baby shit compared to the way Angel Cordero and Laffit and P Val rode on the edge back in the day.

As for the incident the other day when he dropped the bug boy.

No way was it intentional. But it sure was careless and stupid.

A rider of his quality should never make a blunder like that.

30 days is IMO an appropriate sanction. It could have been much longer had the horse or other rider been badly injured.

He'll be much more on the Stewards' radar moving forward. He better clean this crap up or he'll regret it.

Let's not forget these guys are professional athletes competing at an elite level. Mistakes will be made, and sanctions given out.

In our game those mistakes can be life or death and must be dealt with VERY harshly.

Well you lied about seeing a horse break through the gate at the Breeders Cup and kept it up for days after.

Its not like there isn't prior precedent here.

Anyone with a brain, who doesn't have a grudge against me can see the truth.

You missed the point. But it doesn't really matter.

He's lied before, will lie again and no one takes him seriously anyway so....

The point I was interested in was the one you made about the post being nearly identical to the article, and continuing in that vein. Just thought that one part of it could be put to bed.

You're more than welcome to continue with the rest.

Are you saying having a grudge is a bad thing? That's your very existence here, wrapped up in one simple word.

If you read the article you could see how similar it was.

Who is my grudge against?
