Howard Taylor - Jeff Gural Feud (HRU)

[COME ON MAN]

Taylor should give his mother some of the BB3, piece of garbage that he is

[MR.DALRAE]

Now he is trying to put the horses in his son in laws name

[Ruffolo Buster]

Nick Surick already turned him down.   He wanted nothing to do with the MF.

[TimTimTimbo]

You moron. He actually admitted to ordering and paying for it. The question is whether it was EPO. The product was called BB3. Apparently it was Fishman's self manufactured EPO.

I didn't know he admitted it. OK, Fuck him

That question was already answered Mike. BB3 was determined by FBI to be an EPO mimetic-which if you read the rules-is a Class1 positive-so for all intents and purposes-its classified as the same as EPO. In some racing jurisdictions--its an automatic life suspension.

Im actually amazed Howard Taylor opened a can of worms and sued Gural.

In some racing jurisdictions--its an automatic life suspension. It also wasnt as if this was a one time deal--it was ordered on numerous occasions--so many horses would have been administered this stuff.

Because howard thinks he is above the law.  Fuck he represents all of the cheats in the business and get them off or way reduced sentence so why not use the same tactics to get himself off and cheat the business

Meadowlands owner Jeff Gural served notice this week that the
track will not accept entries for horses owned in partnership
with Judy Taylor, the mother of Howard Taylor, and that her
interests must be divested by June 1.

The move puts some of the best 3-year-olds back into limbo.

The question I have is this going too far or not?

This certainly creates a shitfest for the partners of Taylor who are being penalized.

Overall, I think we can all agree with Gural in trying to clean up the industry but is this going too far?.  People like Taylor have spent millions of dollars in purchases, and it has a ripple down affect.  Gural apparently has the right to exclude whoever, but it also looks like there is a lot more animosity than these so-called drugs being purchased by an owner.

Seriously? He invested millions because he knew it was a fixed game. He was in on the fix and there's proof of it from him buying the EPO. The millions he invested is contributing to the downfall of harness racing. The old farmers that raced the family horses that kept these tracks going aren't around anymore to save it. The evolution of the sport is destroying itself and we all know it and we all see it. We all saw what happened to dog racing once fewer and fewer owners and trainers were involved. My last trip to the dog track had under 20 people in the grandstand all nine races were competed by the same two trainers they both had truckloads of dogs. And then later that year it was banned and made illegal. There was nothing in the news about all the failed drug tests and breakdowns lead weights funneled down their throats to slow em down.
