Does it stand a chance?

[Split Rock]

In reading another thread on this site about Marty Wolfson and other trainers that can win a Grade 1 race with a turd sandwhich, it is becoming way too clear that there is absolutely no hope for horse racing. At least not when it pertains to running a legit event.

My question is....why don't "honest trainers" (assuming there are some) that win at 6% (i.e. Jack Van Berg, etc) stand united against this crap?....or at least take one of these trainers out back and clean up the sport from within?

I'm just so surprised that this rampant cheating can continue to ravage the sport like a malignant tumor. All of the horse players want a clean game. I assume most owners and trainers do, as well. Why can't this be fixed?

Does anyone feel that the game will ever make a comeback in its current state? Isn't a major turnaround needed to "save" the game before the 70+ crowd dies off and drops the paid attendence from tens of thousands in the mid 80's to tens...?

Are there any legal and plausible excuses for the dramatic success these trainers have? I've not heard one legitimate rationale for a Wolfson, Dutrow or Lake monster success story. Anyone with a 37 IQ has to surmize that blatant cheating is in effect. I'd love to hear proof of the contrary but I'm quite certain the typical babble about knowing where to spot horses or good care is the answer. Yawn!

The game is precariously close to losing all credibility. Wait....I just saw Gary Coleman peddling CashCall on TvG.....point taken.....credibility restored
