Sorry for Jeff but it's good that a jurisdiction is getting serious about it's fines/suspensions. Seems a little two-faced though when Dutrow has a barn full on the grounds. It's like yes! We will make an example of the guy who never runs here anyway!

How can anyone be sorry for Jeff? Or Dutrow? These guys should be out for a long time if not life.

in my book ASSMUSSEN and MULLINS are the the top two......RD's not even close to these two.

Since everyone seems to think (know) that Steve Asmussen is a doper / violater, shouldn't that put Rachel Alexandra's accomplishments in a different light? Kind of like Mark Mcguire's and Sammy Sosa's home run records ...


Just some "food for thought".

Your "food for thought" has a tinge of ignorance in it.
First, Asmussen doesn't have to use anything on an already talented horse, and he doesn't. What he does use anything on, is his claimed stock and lesser talented horses. Just because the guy gets multiply drug violations, doesn't mean every horse in his barn is drugged.

"Ignorance" is lack of knowledge. Unless you know for a fact that he didn't drug RA, then you are just as ignorant as you claim me to be.

Just because he has multiple drug violations but certain other runners were not positives doesn't mean he didn't drug them, either ...

Can't condone Mullin's behavior, but it seems like they gave him 6 months mainly because he lied to them and generally jerked them around. Also he doesn't have super wealthy/powerful owners like Asmussen and Dutrow. Compare Mullins to Eric YGuillot. A Wind Aid positive vs a class 3 trenbolone steroid positive. Guillot SETTLES with the CHRB, gets 30 days but SERVES 5 days with a $3,000 fine.

As always, nothing changes in CA. It's just the cost of doing business.

The rules should be the same for everyone, but a 6 month ban for wind aid is a little much.............

I dont understand your negativity. This wasnt an article about every trainer that has violated uses of drugs, this was just about Mullins, OKay. If you wish to state that Assmussen uses drugs in thoroughbred racing then why you dont you just nicely say "hey Assmussen does more".
You dont need to blame people for something they didnt do or say. OKay.? Calm Down. No one but you threw in Assmussen first and there wasnt an entire thread started on just any trainers violating the drug rules. Tbrace wasnt trying to be offensive and neither was I by posting this article on Mullins and I didnt understand what you were talking about by saying, " hypocritical". TAKE IT EASY.
