This guy deserves months just for saying a $40K claimer he has, never even needed something as simple as ice.
\"If I get days, I \'ll just quit\". Wow, who knew Christmas would come early this year? Please Jeff quit, cut off your nose to spite your face. I dont bet that garbage they call \"racing\" in California anyway, but I am sure there are many more that would be glad to see you go than would protest it.
These juice guys just don\'t get it. I\'m so sick of hearing guys like Mullins complain about being \"guilty until proven innocent\". Jeff, buddy, your horse tested positive for three times the legal amount, and you are talking about being innocent. Someone please inform Mr. Pletcher, Dutrow, et al., that you cannot hide behind the \"lab tests were wrong\" excuse or the \"the vet must have screwed up the dosage without me knowing\" excuse everytime your horse tests positive. No one messes up that much.
It\'s bad enough to cheat the horsemen, fans, bettors, and entire industry out of millions each racing day, but when caught with your pants down, please do not give us the \"poor me\" victim crap. If it appears that people are out to get you, then there is probably a good reason for it. Here\'s a novel solution if you dont like it, STOP CHEATING!!! These clowns think the public is stupid, that we don\'t see what is going on, and the trainers think we will support them if they play the victim card. Nevermind the days he will get for juicing, someone should suspend Mullins just for being an obnoxious a--hole.

1st offense 60 days, second ban them for life. simple
Mullins has said he wouldn\'t serve a suspension. If they give him days, he\'s gonna quit. We can only hope he\'s as good as his word this time.
Anyone else notice that his horses at Del Mar, after the publication of this story, have basically been running up the track? Maybe someone can correct me, but I noticed the Asmussen barn is also underperforming since he\'s been out.
Has the spotlight on The Move Up Guys (largely started, heroically, by Thorograph) gotten to hot for them?
Mullins has done ok.
He had a win and a 2nd today.
According to the DMR website:
http://www.delmarracing.com/
Mullins has 23 starts with 4 wins and 6 2nds.
Heard he posted a help wanted ad over at UCLA and USC....looking for chemsitry majors...
Yes, a bit subpar but check who is on top of the standings...
Freshened up in the detention barn, I heard O\'Neil invested in a new franchise that combines a Dairy Queen with a Rite Aid.

What a breath of fresh air it would be to get this low life bum out of racing. He cheats....he has gotten rich...and he has called us all fools. Time for California to make an example out of him!
Mullins, Dutrow, Pletcher, Asmussen. All of these guys were shocked upon hearing the news.
Notice you never hear names like Mott, Jerkens, Kimmel, Drysdale, McAnally, Mandella, Motion, Clement in these stories.
Good Luck,
