We have to throw the Low Five at those saying, hey we can do this ourselves and don’t want or need the Horse Racing Integrity Act. News flash, we failed to do it. If we were going to do it ourselves, we would have done it by now. That is a cold hard fact of life.

Low Five to the guy who convinced Danonymous Dan and the head of America’s Best Racing to bet Mr. Freeze. When “that guy” gives out a horse, they are supposed to win.

We have to throw a Low Five to Belinda Stronach. To suggest the scratch of Omaha Beach had anything whatsoever to do with any “new way” or new protocols or standards is a complete detachment from reality or worse. Richard Mandella, and many other trainers throughout the history of the Sport of Kings have always put the horse first. To imply otherwise and group those who do right with those who do not in a weak attempt at some sort of spin is just wrong, and incorrect. I don’t know, maybe she never heard of A. P. Indy, I Want Revenge, I’ll Have Another, Rachel Alexander, Fusaichi Pegasus, and many others in the past 100 years or so.

The Breeders’ Cup panel of Vets and so called experts achieved an EPIC FAIL and LOW FIVE for the Mongolian Groom blunder. No excuse, and there needs to be some accountability.
