I was thinking along similar lines. If what he said in that press conference is accurate (if he's lying there, it's like a whole Michael-Corleone-Senate-hearing thing--and he'd be REALLY stupid, which we know he is not), it should be easy enough with time to get to the truth, esp. regarding the hair analysis. The whole thing seems like some kind of set up, or dare I use the "C" word. None of this makes any sense. I'm not defending him, but until the second split sample gets tested, this isn't official anyway. And labs do make mistakes by the way--any important tests for horses or humans should be repeated and double-checked. I'm not saying this is true, but there are enough elements who'd like to do away with racing and will take any chance they can get to take a free shot at the stumbling giant, like the Lilliputians harassing poor Gulliver. I can't remember the story, did Gulliver have it coming? I don't think so. Anyway, on to the Preakness, for now anyway. Poor Bob won't be able to show his face in Baltimore. Jimmy Barnes is all he needs anyway. I'm thinking a 1-2 finish will quell the critics.
