And if you are curious about the horse mentioned that received 17 injections the week of the race.....Here you go.  It is likely connected to this 2013 story which was discussed at length way back when.  Not trying to re-live that Drape storm but just highlight the fact mentioned in the video.

\"He asked Hanrahan about a report in The New York Times that showed that a horse named Coronado Heights received 17 injections the week before he broke down and was euthanized at Aqueduct in 2012. Coronado Heights had joint disease and was trained by Todd Pletcher, another Kentucky Derby winner who is currently the nation’s leading trainer in purse earnings.\"

Thanks so much for posting this. Dickinson knows his s---. They\'ve always called him the mad genius, but really he\'s just a genius!

He certainly didn\'t come across as a genius there.  Totally got steamrolled over by Nick Luck.

That\'s the glory of horse racing; two people watch the same race, or interview for that matter (or read the same sheet), and come away with completely different views!
