So 2 Dubbs were pissed off after the race.

Hey Frank, love your daily Spa posts.

Tough beat Paul.

Rudy situation goes way back and beyond DQ. Rudy\'s barn \"raided\" more than anyone and never anything found. Rudy, like mentor Tricky, uses lots of legal stuff as a regular MO, especially anti-inflammatory stuff.Has several overages for Banamine which he was giving to all his horses within permitted time frame. NYSGC has it in for Rudy for sure.

Rudy not the most articulate guy and his command of English wanting.Rudy definitely targeted because of former association with railroaded Tricky.Trains for some friends and is very hard working guy.

Second that emotion . . . and must note that JO left-handed him to the max a couple of times before he finally responded by ducking out multiple paths . . . if his nearest pursuers had been JUST a little bit closer behind him, this could have set off a tragedy of epic, heart-rending proportions.
