I remember when I was a green trainer & I was fortunate to get Jacinto Vasquez to ride a maiden claimer for me . After the race I demanded to know why he didn’t go to the front .” I had to stay with the horse “ he replied.

The recent positive tests of Baffert & Assmussen are a call to arms in horse racing, not so much to clean it up because that cannot happen. But a call , a message loud and clear to the honest trainer that you are simply filling the races for these guys .

Always some trepidation & uncertainty when a horse like Hammerinn Aamer goes from a hot trainer to a guy like me . Bear in mind that I was winning Grade 1 & Grade 2 stake races when these guys were chasing cheerleaders. I don’t miss too many tricks.

Participants in the racing game must realize that Servis & Navarro were not caught through drug testing( hit or miss) but rather through big flapping gums, same as Lance Armstrong. The FBI stumbled onto them investigating an unrelated matter.

Sara Elbawdi is OK . Good handicapper & plays well with Andy Serling even when Andy is being Andy. I know she kind of came “out of the woodwork “ , with no prior ties to racing but she holds her own . They said Lou Gehrig came out of the woodwork too!

Not so sure I understand the need for a Saratoga meet this year especially with the current spike in cases in Albany. Trainers are just beginning to recover financially & now must uproot their help ( if they can find) & forego the expense. Got to break the backs of owners too .
