Well...

For better or worse joe drape is on the case. He wants to singlehandedly bring down racing, but at least he’ll thoroughly dig

Is big time racing like cycling where everyone does it and only a few get caught or is Baffert a renegade being a POS on his own?

No, there are plenty. He just gets more passes bc he’s the media darling.

2 trainers are currently under federal indictment after being caught by the fbi

But he’s a piece of shite all on his own too

Told my wife after the race that he ran a 46 and change half and when he was challenged at the top of the stretch and found another gear that Baffert juiced him.

The lack of opposable thumbs on the horse's hooves eliminates him as a suspect.

Baffert sure did look nervous at his impromptu presser. Uncharacteristic. Hmmm...

Back in the day I would have my vet "milkshake" the hell out of my horses before the race. Bute was legal....everyone was doing it. Water based steroids too. Hell I watched a guy blow cocaine up his horses nose at the Bush track in Rayne...the Quarter Pole. I've had interesting times no doubt.

You were also here in Louisiana

And you better not have milkshaked my horse!

Winstrol was still legal as recently as big brown’s year.

It’s just that there seem to be 2 sets of punishment guidelines...

One for baffert and one for everybody else

You're right about that. Just like setting up races on the small tracks for the big barns.
But hey, that's racing. Lol

Milkshakes were big in the early 90's in harness racing.

Buffett is the consummate pro in racing. He really doesn’t need to cheat. Betting this is a false positive test.

No he won’t be

At best we can hope for a suspension and fine, but northern will be huge. But I don’t trust that something doesn’t happen to this split sample and he waltzes away again

Yep. He had mike Smith there to hold the other speed and Rosario to not even be in his irons

Did not even need to drug except maybe to pass the vet jog
