I\'ve heard enough from Mullins that I\'m convinced he needs to go. The writer neglected to mention he won the S.A. Derby with Castledale last year too.

The meat of that story in my opinion is the conflict that the CHRB has with protecting the bettor. Its a cesspool of ulterior interests. It needs replaced as badly as Mullins.

I will look for an opportunity to lean over a paddock railing and give Mr. Mullins an earful.

He\'s a pure punk and needs to go.

Deb, thanks for keeping us apprised of the follow-up to the article posted by Spook_express yesterday.  I appreciate so many of the comments, and like ctc, I\'m reminded of Castledale.  Castledale displaced Rock Hard Ten in last years\' Derby, denying us all the 3 horse stretch run we would\'ve seen between RHT, Limehouse and Smarty Jones.  I remember posting a comment right after last years\' Derby that we had less to fear from the slop of weather that day than from the slop of Mullins and Assmussen who stole two spots in the Derby(not to mention the purses)with non-contenders who ran up the track.  

It\'s too bad as players we lack an organization which gives awards like a \"JEFFY\" for the most destructive people in the sport.  raz
