Go to Pages 15 and 16.  Pletcher and Allday mentioned in some testimony today.  

Jorge did not pay his bills in a timely fashion and had a big mouth.  

The Baffert drama today made this get lost a touch when it should not have.

If only we could see ALL the information the feds gathered from their Fishman investigation.  All the client lists.  All the mailing addresses.  All the payments received.  All the texts.  All the wiretaps.  All the other vets he associated with. . .

\"Say it ain\'t so Mo\" is probably still available for naming a horse.

Fishman claims Godolphin and Sheik Mo spent over 2 million for his program, the tentacles this trial could reveal may be overwhelming!
Also claimed it gave Goldophin the best 3 years the stable has had.

Remember the NBA referee Donaghy, a FBI agent was quoted saying that if the truth got out about the "real NBA", it would be on par with professional wrestling in regards to who they choose to win. This feels like it is worse than that. Couple that with the Ntra news, it looks like no wants to play by the rules.

Once in a while , an inspiration. Thought this went well with that story.

Imagine Billionaire oil Sheiks and rulers of clans and countries thinking they are above the law?

On the other hand, Sheik Mo probably has the most competent PR operation on the planet. The story of his wife sure disappeared fast. Or was it the reporter? Yeah. that was a different Sheik.

Plus, purchases totaling only millions probably didn\'t even get to his desk.

Quote from the defense attorney on closing arguments, \"Seth Fishman improvidently chose to live in a rough neighborhood among racehorse owners and trainers bent on cheating,\" Sercarz said.

\"I submit it was Dr. Fishman who was trying to wean horses off much more dangerous stuff and provide a safer alternative while adhering to his oath as a licensed vet to protect the welfare and safety of animals.\"

See , Fishman is what you would call an equine chemical dependency unit physician,  instead of methadone,  he chose epo and clenbuturol!

What is he weaning them off of? Wouldn\'t he have to be able to test what he was weaning them off of? And if it is un-testable, what is he testing for?

When the \'wiretap\' case got underway I think most of us believed that it would reveal that evidence of the cheating problem would spread well beyond the two most recognized criminals (that\'s what they are).  I was still naïve, however, in not thinking that it would draw the Arabs in with it.  When you have unlimited money and are breeding the best to the best, do you also need to be cheating?  Maybe so.

Pletcher and Allday?  For sure...there was an interview on Sirius, years ago, during which Allday was questioned directly about PEDs and he said, more or less, I never used an illegal drug.  When they declared something illegal that I was using, I stopped using it.  

That was his explanation and defense.  Sort of like Fishman.  Not quite, but close enough.

There\'s one thing that I\'m not \'confused\' about.  I spotted Navarro and Servis well before anyone else was talking about it...profited by betting them, following my belief that they were cheating.  And I had a saying: when I bet Chad Brown I win 25% of the time and when I bet against him I lose 100% of the time.  The math doesn\'t work, but that was what confused me.  What doesn\'t confuse me is what the 25% trainers are doing; what the people who win multiple graded races on some weekends are doing.

And now, possibly, what the Arabs themselves are doing.

It\'s bad enough when it\'s happening to us as handicappers, but as an owner I have a distinctly shitty memory of standing in the paddock with confidence that my runner that day had a great shot at winning an Optional Claimer.  Only to see a shipper walk in, floating on air.  Clearly juiced after losing its previous race by 35 lengths.  My trainer turned to me and said \"I think we\'re running for second today.\"  The shipper beat us every step of the way and my clean horse ran his heart out, only to lose.

That hurt.

I admit it, I checked to see if it was April first.
