Open Letter to Jerry Brown

[miff]

fkach,

Was discussing pure horsemanship not managing horses, two very different/separate issues.Smaller outfits always seem to race over their head to avoid losing the horse, big outfits drop with impunity.

Any one can train horses but not all trainers are horsemen. Good trainers take horses off bad trainers because they can fix what a bad trainer can not. They do not have to use illegal drugs to get a horse to run to his ability.
 
  Everybody talks about trainers cheating using drugs or what ever they can get to make a horse run faster. How about trainers & jockeys that stiff horses in races. They still do that.

  Cheating has been going on in all horse racing for ever. I would hope that someday we could get clean racing but i would not hold my breath. We bet on the races anyway because we still have a fighting chance to pick winners using the sheets. If all races were run clean we would all be rich because all the numbers on the horse would be true to that horse natural ability.

I was just informed on the DL that I had in fact met the \"big kahuna\".  How embarrassing!  Please forgive my dullness, sir.  If my punishment is going to be forty lashes, I beg that you make them with wet noodles; for I bruise all too easily.  .
