Title: Life on the Farm
Post by: Fairmount1 on December 13, 2021, 05:41:41 PM
I\'d be interested in trying my luck as a farmhand or groom at a specific farm in Central Kentucky.  

Now if 8 horses fell over dead while in my care, would my bosses think I didn\'t do anything wrong?

If prior to several important sales, several horses I cared for directly tested positive for prohibited substances, would my bosses think I didn\'t do something wrong?

If I blamed all of my problems described above on something other than myself and said that there\'s a problem with the Farm but it isn\'t Fairmount1, would my bosses think I was a good employee?  

According to Holier Than Thou EW, this is how he would treat me.  I guess I\'ll take him at his word, but something tells me this isn\'t how it would go...

This isn\'t clever or amusing. You are capable of better. I have seen it.

It is also tired. I am tired. Good Night.

it is clever and amusing, and best of all...spot on.  Walden is a hypocrite.  Do as I say, not as I do.

Walden: 'If I Thought Bob Was Doing Anything Wrong, I Would Not Have Sent Country Grammer Back To California'

He is much too smart to make such a stupid statement. As a top horseman and breeder he should be ashamed to say that in light of Baffert\'s drug positive/breakdown record. This is exactly how and why these trainers thrive. Supported by leaders in the industry. Kind of makes me want to throw up... .

How about making your voice heard by keeping your money in your pocket? They wouldn't like that.

It's a very small part of a much larger issue and potential loss for Baffert. Losing the right to race in NY.

I hardly think that keeping my money in my pocket as a bettor or owner or seller will make any difference at all. I wish it would.

Walden\'s timing with his comment is terrible. Medina Spirit, a healthy 3-year old colt, under Baffert\'s care dies on the track on December 6. Walden makes his ridiculous endorsement of Baffert as his trainer of choice on December 13. (I am sure a business decision for unknown reasons). Senator Feinstein demands a third party investigation (not trusting CHRB) into the death of Medina\'s death on December 14. Now a very powerful very anti-horse racing official is involved.

Baffert is simply poison. Marching on the path to further destroy the integrity of horse racing. Just my opinion.

Baffert wins Attorneys\'Fees with Lawsuit?

Why isn\'t Lawsuit listed in the Derby advanced betting menu?
