Look at the races Baffert has been cited for. Arkansas Derby, Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks, Santa Anita Derby. These are all BIG races on big days. I would suggest that maybe you SHOULD be betting lower level races. At least in those races you can assume all the horses are in pain AND medicated, legal or otherwise.

People become hateful when an individual is afforded special privileges and treatment. Baffert has Bo Derek and Belinda Stronach protecting him. The man has such a thick coating of Teflon on him that your eyeballs will slide off his image.

If the CHRB and Jockey Club think they can not live without Baffie, at least make it fair and more interesting. Let Baffert entries carry seven extra pounds of weight, a leaden Scarlet Letter of sorts.
