2) That doesn't make it OK to me, does it to you?? Also the places you mentioned are nostalgic, and SAFE for the most part for families to visit(not the Vet). Take a trip to the following tracks, hit a for a few thousand and tell me just how safe you feel being there and when leaving- Pimlico, Hollywood, Golden Gate, Thisltedown, Aqueduct, Hawthorne, etc
3) Don't be stupid... cheating is industry wide and you know it.

1. But he wasnt and he is still remembered today. Everyone acts like horses were campaigned for 10 years in past years. We had a popular Derby winner a few years back named Funny Cide who raced till he was 6 and yet the game didnt suddenly turn around. The thing that you and most people forget is that NCAA basketball has always been a hugely popluar sport the last 25 years and the top players havent been staying for four years for a long time. However trainers, owners and jockeys stay around like coaches and managers but that is always forgotten.
2. How safe do you feel leaving Madison Square garden with a couple thousand in your pocket? What about yankee stadium? This is an inane argument. Keeneland, Santa anita, Churchill, Saratoga, Gulfstream, Arlington, Turfway, Mountaineer, Charlestown, laurel, Turf paradise, Belmont, Delaware, Colonial, Tampa, Ellis park, River downs, Indiana downs, hoosier, Lone star, La Downs, the red mile, the Meadowands, Monmouth, Penn national, Presque isle, Finger lakes are all in safe areas with some obviously nicer than others.
3. Your response is typical and doesnt answer the question. Let me ask one more time. HOW do you know WHO is cheating and WHAT they are doing? Give me one shred of evidence that you personally know is an example of "cheating" that goes on without punishment. And tell me how exactly will you know what measures are working or when the "cheating" has stopped or is being curbed.
