Would bet anything that...

The barns were warned about the blood test before it took place.

Although they could catch a cheater by launching a surprise test, it would do alot of harm (and money $$$) to the sport if the winner was found to have cheated.

Pletcher can\'t win without cheating.

Have been willing to give hime the benefit of the doubt since he gets the best stock of anyone and he did learn a thing or two from the great DWL.  So, here\'s my take - thought only that scat daddy was oging to get it done for him.  Other than that, I didn\'t have any of his horses in the top 4 (happy to provide a chart of this if anyone cares).  
It\'s a good thing Haskin has a new book out - his last one went in the trash last night.  It\'s a new day for training, a point made all day by the TV guys, who other than that sucked.  NBC should give it up - how many times can they do the same stories over and over...there\'s more to the game what they served up.

Fellas, you don\'t get it.....it\'s the track and its quirks. TP didn\'t respect that, today he does. He looked like somebody hit him in the head with a ball bat! He is not dead................

He is definitely dead if the major stakes all adopt pre race blood testing.

Deader than a doornail. Though I do agree he was up against it with the top 3 finishers.
