I thought with my late start today I would have to sort thru pages of comments and I see nothing! I guess when you are the King you may receive a Pass sometimes!

He did not receive a "pass" but the horse was dq-ed and he was fined. The positive was a simple Lasix overage.

It is lasix...so not a big deal.

Its true and factual-that many of the horses that Howard Taylor owned -trainers of his were using the PEDs from Fishman-notably HOF Ron Burke--BB3-listed on horses he trained-even listed which PED each horses was getting-so if you banish one trainer for using these PEDs -then it should be across the board-remember-no one in USA is above the Law.
This is concerning and I missed it. Which horse/s was it??

not a big deal things happen. I can't tell you how many cloudy a positive test I've had,, the main thing is to get them across the wire safely so we can all cash tickets.

Good rant.
He's not that fat.

I am of the opinion he doesn't run a clean operation. However, do understand there isn't yet solid evidence to support that; his positives tend to be innocuous.
However, what is not an opinion but a fact is the condition Lexus Kody raced in in the MLT last night. Tetrick knew it too; he walked most of the warmup, which was wise since based on how he post paraded, if he had moved any quicker I don't see how track vet couldn't have scratched him. Randy also pointed it out, but hardly necessary as he was clearly lame even at the walk even to a layperson.
It's really a testament to the gutsiness of Kody to hang on as long as he did.
He may be the leading trainer in harness racing, but the repeated lack of horsemanship displayed by the number of blatantly lame horse he puts on the track doesn't go unnoticed. Except apparently by the track vets.

Please explain the logic to racing a horse which is no condition to even get a check.

That's a great question for the connections. Since clearly he wasn't.

you're exactly right it's just Lasix. Howard has not been affected at al,,l he's a good friend of mine and one hell of an attorney.

Tell Jones and Casale there are people in the Village who have some questions regarding the Police vs. Firefighters Tug Of War day that was cancelled and why? I have 5000 reasons to ask. tmbz1

The fact that I was stating is that someone in the Burke outfit stuck a loaded syringe in this horse prior to the race therefore proving that the horses raced from that barn are recipients of pre-race injections 💉 thats all!

I guess no one has noticed that Burke horses are not winning alot this
s year. Two year olds are terrible. Look at their earnings, way down.

A disgrace...will he stop at the the Burke farm on the way back? Looked to need a full tune up. Will he get around the half in that condition?

Shocking that the anti-Burke crowd uses a lasix overage/positive to call for a lynching. Well, here, not really, LOL. While I've never been an advocate or fan of Burke, and while it has nothing to do with the penalty, with the size of the operation, and being on track to have what, 5000 or more starts this year-----of course that doesn't give him a pass, but a lasix overage is certainly not a felony and a reason to lynch him.

He breeds to his own crackhead horses, sires and mares? ngc3
Were the first words of these yearlings....spik e up the baby ngc3

And to think Lexus Kody was invited to international trot at Yonkers
Burkes young horses aren’t the normal monsters this year like in the past. He only had one PA champion this year. Lets see how he does in the other states, sire stake program

Well, in a previous interview mentioned on the Saturday Mohawk broadcast, Burke claimed he wouldn't be 100% tight for the MLT, but should be better prepared for the Intl.
I am being kind with my paraphrasing as I didn't hear (or see in print) the full interview, However, what I am extrapolating is, they know he's not right.
Will he be in the Int'l Trot? The horse I saw Saturday cannot possibly be 100% in a week's time. Personally, I'd be surprised if he is fit to participate, but I will not be surprised if he is entered either way.
