Sent a note to Buff Bradley, who has been generous with his time to ATRAB, expressing support and best wishes for Brass Hat... His response was very encouraging and makes it sound like he and his dad will try to rehab the game and honest gelding once again...

Thanks so much to all of you. We have had a great run with this horse that put us on the map so we are grateful for that. He owes us nothing but if any horse can come back it will be him. Again thanks for your support always.. Buff

I have to say I'm sickened by the turn of events that has befallen the Bradleys with regards to Brass Hat and the ill-fated trip to Dubai. If Hat can't return, to have his career and the memories it generates be sullied by the despicable conduct of the Emirates racing authorities is tragic.

I've followed Brass Hat since his Rushaway win, and have been thrilled to get to know the truly likeable Bradley through the radio show. This is a racehorse that should have the love and respect of fans everywhere and should have been able to retire with a great legacy of overachievement against multiple odds.

Instead, a group of dishonest and disengenious cheats that masquerade as great champions of the sport have taken away what should have been a glorious and career-defining accomplishment that will always haunt the Bradleys. Not only was a lucrative prize taken from them, now they likely don't even have their horse. It's disgusting, and there should be a much louder outcry from those that are allegedly charged with guarding the integrity of the game.
