Judging by the way Jake is going after Baffert, I’m guessing BB is no longer buying both products.
Might be the only website still on the internet, with audio files in self extracting EXE format .
Also Hmmm worthy: Coverage of Baffert Arkansas fiasco seems to have disappeared
from the Paulick Report? I hope I am wrong. Did BB send a legal mouthpiece a
huffing and a puffing? Did an advertiser threaten to pull out if Baffert coverage
continued?
If Baffert had two bad tests at OP May 2, there should be a suspension involved,
even though the Barnses could probably keep the operation running and if I can
work two jobs remotely I am sure Baffert can train his string remotely.
A 15 or even a 30 day suspension of Bob Baffert would send a message equally as
important as the short prison terms which might be awaiting Servis and Navarro;
that message would be that no one is beyond sanctioning, that no one is \"too big
to fail\".
If, as reported, it was Lidocaine, there’s no comparison with the Navarro/Servis stuff. Lidocaine is not a performance enhancer, nobody would intentionally use it in a race, let alone think they could get away with it.
There is a difference in topical and injectable lidocaine.
Just another reason why public vet records would be nice for the game.
JB:
I guess we will see who has the stronger stuff if Maximum Security gets back to
the races for Baffert. It should be fascinating to observe, because here you have
a horse that Servis was working 1/2 miles in .53 and .54, now trained by a man
whose trademark is working his charges faster than most trainers (and faster than
many horses run in the afternoon).
At this point a 15-30 day suspension would be akin to a Lifetime Achievement
Award, and would include the Thyroxine incident (seven fatalities, trainer
unpunished) and the Scopolamine snafu (Justify, Triple Crown winner who should
have been ineligible for the Derby).
I read somewhere that it was a new designer drug and not lidocaine. If true, I am sure the defense will be that the drug wasn\'t on the banned list (because it is a new drug). NY Times did say it was lidocaine though.

\"It\'s nothing personal, Sonny -- it\'s strictly business.\"
