Well said Joly. I agree with all that. Baffert no less than anyone else deserves his day in court and not in the court of public opinion. I personally hope he prevails because obviously it's not in the best interest of racing for him to be found out to be just another cheater. He and his horses have no doubt caused a lot of positive interest in the sport, but all that can and will be undone, if things go against him, but let the chips fall where they may. On the face of it though, I doubt that this will work out to anyone's satisfaction. This seems a far different situation than that of Servis and Navarro who were wire tapped and pretty much caught in the act. In this case, I can see the lawyers getting involved and doing what lawyers do which is obfuscating everything.
