Positive

[White Rabbit]

Rumblings yesterday in the paddock at meadows was the greatest trainer , yellow n gray, keeps racking up money wins and another positive. Am sure it was dog , cat or his Chinese groom pissed in the stall. You just can’t make this stuff up

No one should be surprised.

When you have that many horses and that much help it's bound to happen.

"bound to happen". Uh ya if you are cheating.

Bullshit , when your making that find of money your screening should be state of the art. Like the casinos, a guy watching a guy watching that guy and so on.
Just like the article on USA Today about gabapentin being the new abused drug.

The man has horses stabled at 4 different racetracks and at least one training center. He may not see some of his horses for months at a time. He gets blamed because he's the trainer of record.

When a company gets a product recall because of ecoli or listeria do they blame the field worker who processed the produce or do they have to own up to it?

Only in racing can you shirk responsibility time and again.

In his case, he pays the fine and serves the suspension when he feels like it. In my opinion he's not successful because he's cheating unlike some others who are.

And so he should. If he has a problem with that  then he he should send some (or all)  to other trainers

I don't disagree with you, my point was, he can't be everywhere with an operation as large as his, so you're relying on other people to do the right thing but sometimes there are slipups.

Rumblings?  Slanderous rumblings and you guys are nailing the coffin on one of the best trainers to grace the sport.  Lets at least wait will we see a positive before we hang him!

That is no excuse.. I don't care if he has horses  at every harness track in the country.. and if he doesn't see some horses for months than why is he listed as the trainer? He is the CEO of a major operation and the buck stops with him. He will serve his suspension this winter as usual and grass is green and the sky is blue and the beat goes on. It's ridiculous. If you can't be everywhere because how big your operation is than cut down your stock... but he won't do that and why would he? Countless positives and still rakes in millions. It's sickening.

  Thanks for this post. . I raced at major tracks from the sixties thru the 80's. During those times there weren't people like Burke, et al,. around. Then, in the 80's, Herve and the Capital Hills Farm became the claiming whores but listed Maurice Pusey as trainer to take the hit if necessary. This was also the time when drugging came into vogue. Herve would go first over as if it were the dream trip, REALLY, and the shit would come down on Pusey who was totally expendable. It's kinda like what the Bongiornos do today. It is my sincere hope that people like Herve, who lost it all at A.C. and the track kitchen at Westbury playing high stakes gin, and of course Burke and the Bongiornos, get their ticket punched at the TRAIN STATION, although at 79, it doesn't look good for me to witness.

Did they bring in Stewie the Kid Ungar to gaslight Herve in Gin? Timing seems about right and the teenage kid was the best gin player in the world.
