As I said I quit posting for a year. And as Fairmount pointed out via the others who have left the Board, some of whom I know...."only the Clowns are Posting here". Their words not mine.
Thanks for the usual input

I didn't post on here for a year after last June someone (will go unnamed) trashed the Owners (E-Five, Claiborne are friends) trying to get their horses back on the Track after a COVD shut down. Claiming the Owners were meaningless to the game.
Now we have CLOWNS in every post talking about Baffert and his Positives. Pete Rose. Fox News and Trump. And a friend of mine on here who happen

That's exactly what I said. There was evidence he bet on his own Team as a Manager, He later admitted it in 2004. But there was never any evidence he threw a game.
the charges of wrongdoing included claims that he bet on his own team.....After years of public denial, Rose admitted in 2004 that he bet on baseball and on the Reds.

Yes. He let it carryover into the work place and it could have affected his judgement as a Manager. But there was never any evidence he actually threw a game or made decisions that were not in the best interest of the Team. Its Baseball Choice to not Vote him into the Hall. At the same time the Hall recognizes his achievements.There are a lot fans who still appreciate that and how hard he played.

Why would you find it pathetic that people want his autograph? I find that to be very odd.
First off everything he accomplished on the field was BEFORE he ran afoul with gambling on games when he was the Manager of the Team. He is still the All Time Hit Leader in Baseball. Multiple Batting Champ. He holds the major league records for games (3,562), at bats (14,053), hits (4,256), and singles

T i survived on the day. Came right back on EQ in the Belmont to cut my losses, But I bet him when he was 2-1. Sheeesh who sent it in on him in the last 5 minutes or so.
For some of the owners who won yesterday I am going to give them a big pat on the back. Seth Klarmin has put a lot money into the game and won 2 Grade 1's. His dirt horse Highly Motivated will be heard from again later o

Well good news Bob is gone.
So far its the Todd, Chad, Saffie (who is now a 60% New York Trainer) and Robertino D show. Rest assured BC will have something to say before the day is over. As in I can move me up too.
I actually think Chris Clement has a punchers chance of winning a race today. Gofu is an impressive animal. Will be up against the Brown Army who was very live yesterday and ha

Is anyone really surprised? The probability of a quick a dirty first result of a failed test on a Derby Winner going Public was ZILCH.
Racing can talk tough but they have to actually do something to win public trust.

First off I didnt say Baffert was "Not Guilty". I said he needs to have his day and laying low would not he a bad idea.
I've also explained the economics of his operation. And for every Nadal or Charlatin he has there are 8 to 10 in that same price range that never make it to the Track. Speaking of those two they were probably syndicated for about $25M total. And they had how

This was today on CBS Good Morning. Baffert had a lot to do with getting Silver Charm back there. Game in Dude is there. He has donated money.
His problems now are self inflicted. No Lawyer will be able to talk his way out of it for you. Maybe legally but not in public opinion. At the same time to percieve this guy doesnt care about the game and is only thinking 24/7 of ways to pump chemicals

I'm not Bafferts Press Agent but someone who knows gave me some insight into his operation. For everyone of these Concert Tours, Hoziers (the $500,000 types) that look like they are something.....there are another 4 or 5 he has for these same owner groups that never make it to the Track.
Look for this crew there about 5 of them that are putting up $100,000 a piece. If a Nadal wins a few

McCarthey was Pletchers #1 Assistant for for a while. He actually took over for Pletcher when Pletcher was serving one of these Suspensions.
Pletcher fought the suspension below for almost 2 years before serving his days. Wait a While had run 3rd in Breeders Cup race.
McCarthey learned under one of the best. Does that mean he is a rule breaker? No. It means he has handled a lot

Fairmount1 its all good. Teflon works
Let me know when you are back down here for a GP Meeting. The days of going to the Track are thankfully back. Racing needs to act. Decisively and coordinated. Public confidence counts and some of the outfits are public companies.

Hope you guys had him. Mike McCarthy has now won a Breeders Cup, Pegasus Cup, Ashland and a Preakness in the last 2.5 years. All major dirt races. That's quality.

I'm sure he left his heart in Louisville. I thought he could gut out another one. He still ran 3rd. Baffert needs to lay low for a while. Hire a Chief Compliance Officer. If the 2nd Test comes back positive which I'm 99.99% sure it will he needs to take the suspension with no appeal. The Owner will fight. Its $1.5M to him and a Trophy that's hard to win.
Baffert will be back.

Well said. Keep posting. You sound a little too balanced and educated for many of these. By balanced I mean you said you werent a Baffert Fan and he beat you out of money but what occurred was explainable.

Try reading again what you wrote and how it was implied.
You have no idea what he gave the horse.
You have no idea how it was administered.
And then you come back and try and clarify "what he did or didnt give the horse". And I might know more than I will tell you or this Board. So we will leave it at that.
Facts don't matter? Just wild accusations and speculations.

He is someone who knows what he is talking about. But to the crowd of "we dont know what Baffert did but we know he did something"...that doesnt work. Common sense doesnt work.

Hey Clown neither do you. So perhaps you needs to shut up on something YOU have no factual based insight on. Just innuendo. Just I dont know what he did I just know he did something. Really?

Well now that the Talking Heads feel like they have neutralized Baffert the game is finally clean right? Who better to step up take the Lead Role than Mike Maker and Jamie Ness. Somewhere Kirk Zadie is applying for a License again. And who can forget the Milkshake Brad Cox gave Owendale at the Ohio Derby a few years ago. I think he won last years Eclipse after a dominating Breeders Cup Weekend. A

Then at that point the Stewards will faced with a tough call.
Baffert can take the High Road and declare he would NEVER ignore the health and well being of one of his animals. He has now checked that box with the Animal Lovers.
He can then declare that his horse was a $1,000 Rag's to Riches Story that isnt what the Bluebloods prefer. Like Maximum Security. And he has now checked that

Expect all charges to be dropped. Order to be restored. This is why you dont jump to conclusions.
As far as the Preakness goes he is coming to town with 2 LIVE horses. 4 of his 7 Derby Winners has been accomplished going wire-to-wire. War Emblem, Justify, Authenticity and Medina Spirit. Bodemeister almost gave him 8!! Saving ground and free from traffic trouble

Going to be a very awkward week. For him and the Sport. Right now he is fighting for everything he has got. Because this wasn't just a horse racing story today. It was on every cable news channel around. And some at the top of the leading hour.
This is a real story. Not Bradley Cooper and De Niro in Limitless.
