I highly doubt this guy is so much a genius when it comes to doping horses that no one can figure out what he is doing. The fools are the bettors and the idiots are the ones that allow it to happen.

He gets caught...big deal. He gets to go on vacation and lets his trusty assistant take over and collect the checks. Its a win-win for any of these creeps. If anything, no one considers the health implications of the horses. Why dont we have PETA go after these trainers who do this. It seems like it would be a logical argument on thier side rather than PETA having stupid arguments about whipping horses, or "forcing" horses to run against thier will.
Let me try to understand the point that you are trying to make here as it is difficult for those of us with even a modicum of intelligence to make sense of this dribble.

You believe that he is an idiot who can barely muster up the brainstorm to dope his horses with commonly detectable substances, yet the authorities are even dumber than him and unable to detect such common substances? This somehow makes those of us who are bettors even stupider?

Forget the Feds, the local district attorney's offices, the state wagering boards since they don't care about the health of the horses, horse racing needs an organization whose only agenda regarding horse racing is to ban the sport as it is cruel to animals, to police the dirty trainers? Finally, putting PETA on such a focus will make them drop the current false allegations they toss at the sport and come in and help clean up the sport?

I think I understand the allure of poker after reading this nonsense, at least the bettor gets to size up the intelligence of who he is risking his money against, we stupid bettors only get to see a tote board without knowing who is putting money into certain horses. I can't wait to see your next 30 posts!

IF PETA wants to bicker about horse racing, then those trainers that dope horses and consequently harm the health of horses is a legitimate argument. Thier current platform argument is about the whipping horses and "forcing" horses to run is a stupid and baseless argument.

Bettors are fools because the industry see us that way when they turn the other cheek and allow these trainers to do what they do. Get caught and its a weeks vacation minus a 1000 bucks.

You put me to sleep on this reply. Wake me up when the "technology" is invented to catch this genius.

Don't listen to them helicopter. They are just bitter. I think using PETA to police the sport is a great idea. How about a joint venture between PETA and the NAACP?

Sarcasm noted. I guess no one is for the idea of naked chicks protesting in front of race tracks.

You get no arguement from me about PETA's current arguements. But the last thing the sport needs is any more involvement from them in any capacity.

PETA is not the solution to police the sport. However, trusting the established beuracoracy to change the habits of these trainers is not a solution either. Nothing has been changed.

I'll simplify it for you. Your attempt to rebut what I stated was riddled with nonsense.

How about naked chicks on horseback, giving away drugs as symbolism for the clearance of doping from the business

Maybe we should suggest something that can be done.

Don't bet the races he enters.

Why do people assume that what is given to horses "harms" them? Assuming he is using a steroid (I would guess this is about 99.8% chance of this) the drug is probably helping the horses rather than harming them.

We have all seen how much steriods have "harmed" Barry Bonds' health.

You do realize that anabolics are used for healing injuries right? When used properly anabolic steroids are beneficial for racehorses in training. Of course since Mr G seems to be using them in spite of a ban on them the postive attributes are kind of a sidebar.
