Pletcher continues to receive tiny slaps on the wrist, stays of suspension and special treatment for crap he pulled last year, prior to HIWU.

The sport would be better off without him, IMO.  He's well-capitalized trash.

Every time I see that photo of him, Irad, and Repole after the Jim Dandy waiting to be disqualified I crack up. Shemp, Mo, and Joe lol

That was such a blatant miscarriage of stewardship.  They are comical in a way though.  Especially, Repole. 

He's thinking, hey, I had 40 people invited for rigatoni, clams which I shipped in on ice, beautiful braciole...they gotta keep me up.  He's not skipping any meals by the look of him.

And 3 of the 40 were the stewards...

Oh man, Tex.  LOL.  One liner of the year.  

yes I noticed Repole Wintered well. Huge gatherings.

Repole says one per cent of  the Trainers are Cheaters.

Then says If the owners don't have the right to race his horses the rules need changed

or he will leave the Industry. Bye Bye Mike good luck .

My personal boycott of Gulfstream was from a result much less than that incident, Upstart got taken down and a TAP horse (can't remember the name, some long strung together name), got put up on tip.  Not happening in NY or at GP, bigt ops get the nod.

I'm sure you remember the veil of secrecy Repole threw around Uncle Mo as to whether or not he had surgery after his win in the BC Juvy.  That's when I had no more use for Repole.

Let's keep the bettors in the dark is no way to win favor with bettors.

It's still up in the air whether or not they kept some kind of infection secret before the Uncle Mo's loss in the Wood.  I personally think both he and Pletcher kept that secret.  After the race, the usual platitudes were trotted out.

I will never forget that time in horse racing history when more than one

trainer were caught lying to clockers using videos of works and time spent

around their barns from cell Phones woke the trainers up not to lie anymore

about anything within the scope of the clockers.
