"Hancock [Curlin's majority owner], a fourth-generation horseman who bred two Derby winners, has long been vocal about what he calls “the drugs and thugs” that have infested the sport" Here's a horseman whose olfactory senses are still in tact. The racing game stinks... and he readily admits this. I...
