Whatever the reason for what they did, it is in my opinion very extreme ----I hope he can get it overturned but I doubt he will be able to do that.

How many times will we hear about this during the Belmont program? Way too many imho, I really wish that the lab had taken one more week.

I hope they limit the amount of time they spend on this subject. The Preakness was way too much. I’ll probably end up muting when they discuss it. My brother refused to watch live cause he didn’t want to hear the repeating discussion.
Actually, I hope they don’t make the decision on DQ until afterwards, or other tracks decisions on banning.
