Money?

Don't be silly Patrick .... Santana and Elton are only there to watch some of the finest horseys the world has to offer in terms of tapeta and turf.

I thought they "frowned" on people like Elton over there.

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Not at all.

Heck, they paid 375K for a horse so they could name it Mendip.

They treat the naming of their horses like a public john in The Castro.

The Mendip Hills are a major feature in the West of England, rising between the valley of the Avon (which flows through Bath and Bristol) and the Somerset Levels. If you don't know what a name denotes, you assume that it's scatological? How juvenile.

I think you have Dubai confused with Saudi Arabia.

Makes you wonder if the raceday medication, or lack thereof, is the difference.

Hey Freddy

I'm not saying there aren't vets with black bags...I'm saying no lasix, no bute. No "legal" raceday medication. As for the other stuff, that's up to the testing to catch and whatever will be, will be.

I feel like everyone grossly misinterprets that statement, when I make it, and that includes Steve Byk per our back and forth on ATR a few weeks back. To me - raceday medication specifically means the legalized drugs that North American racing jurisdictions explicitly allow and the rest of the world does not. To NOT agree that Lasix and Bute have a stranglehold on American racing is beyond comprehension to me...

If you medicate illegally...and you aren't caught - so be it - and that happens all over - there is no reason to think I am an uninitiated novice, not wise to the ways of the world.

Who knows if that was a difference for Tahitian Warrior today, but on the surface, I thought his being on turf was a major sign against. I didn't have him near my top three.
