Never heard of the former, some contact with the latter - never used it though.

The Paulick report is the only truly investigative site for horse racing. They do great work.
I don't think that there is close to a harness racing equivalent. Where was the hue and cry when Frederick Bourgeault murdered a hose?

Seems like it wont be over until Baffert is run out of racing entirely.
