Impressions from CD backside this am

Shug one of the most understated trainers in the game and for him to be jawing a bit, you must pay attention.Of Easy Goer he said \" he\'s a nice horse\"

[magicnight]

I think that happened in Newmarket, not Dubai.

[TGJB]

I know. But if they\'re using something here...

Phil, awesome info, thanks for that.

I knew Todd said she was a nice horse and I know she\'s pointing for a stake on Derby Day but I didn\'t realize she was that fast.

thank you very much

The elitists better change the usual \"rest of the world\" verbiage from their future stumping on the \"clean up the game\" trail.

[magicnight]

Indeed! Do you know when they started OOC in the UK? I know they did a little in Ireland some years ago, but I think that was a \"special\", and not a regularly occuring event.

If you are looking for a large physical horse, you might look past George Clooney, buff or not.

They train off farms in many overseas venues.When the elitists kept jawing about the rest of the world, it was pretty widely known that \"stuff\" went on at farms overseas, just like here.

Had a friendly exchange with Barry Irwin about that once but he did not answer that question, sure he knows better than most.Back in the 80\'s I was alerted by an Aussie colleague about stuff going on at farms down under and europe from where I was buying horses.

Poor Sheik Mo!


Al Zarooni has admitted that he was responsible for the administration of the prohibited substances.

Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford said: “This is a dark day for Godolphin. We are all shocked by what has happened”.

“His Highness Sheikh Mohammed was absolutely appalled when he was told and this is completely unacceptable to him. We will await the outcome of the BHA inquiry before taking any further internal action.

“Sheikh Mohammed has instructed me to begin an urgent review of all of our procedures and controls. That is already underway and we will take advice from the BHA in completing it.”

Al Zarooni said: “I deeply regret what has happened. I have made a catastrophic error. Because the horses involved were not racing at the time, I did not realise that what I was doing was in breach of the rules of racing. I can only apologise for the damage this will cause to Godolphin and to racing generally.”

[magicnight]

Yes. No \"backside\" at the European tracks. Just a bunch of horse vans showing up early morning on race days.

I must say it is pretty shocking doing a raid on the Sheik\'s farm. Not that they shouldn\'t, of course. Just surprising that they would have the stones to do that to someone who could put a big hole in graded fields by taking his toys elsewhere.

[magicnight]

I wonder if Zarooni was ever a jumps jockey. He knows how to take a fall.

[TGJB]

Trainer had best stay in England.

Ferdinand drew post one and Shoemaker lost his irons when knocked into the rail then rallied stoutly to return some $38!  bbb

Small field no? only 16!

Wonder if NY Regulators are heading for Sheik Mo\'s Greentree Training Center at the SPA?
