Just lost a lot of respect for Patty Hogan, stick up for an admitted doper. sad, but that's the racing business today.
Some more on, Oaks and his sentencing. https://paulickreport.com/news/the-biz/harness-trainer-oakes-sentenced-to-three-years-in-prison-in-federal-doping-case/
Agree 100%-Oakes wasnt satisfied doping his own--he extended this to higher criminal levels by using other people horses for financial gain-doping them as well.. Im sure Hogan made plenty doing surgery work on his horses--but to give him a character reference after fully being aprised of the facts---asinine and says a lot about a person character.
No character reference from his top client, Michele Crawford. She was tickled pink when her horses were winning with both, Oaks and Navaro. She had the fastest T-bred with Navaro, Shancelot. And Homicide Hunter, the fastest trotter. Yet, she never suspected a thing.
Who is she using for her T-Bred and Harness horse trainers now ?

Oakes also disagreed with the government's assertion that he had given EPO or Epogen to some of his horses, saying that accusation came from a wiretapped phone call in which he had poor signal but was talking about two horses of his named Epillete and Epic Union.
