Rhoades

Does anyone have any ideas, as to why all Rhoades horses are scratched at Northfield tonight?
Just wondering if I missed anything, been very busy as of late.

scratched at Scioto as well.
All scratched judges.

One and only response I'm going to do. Our air quality has been horrible so we decided that it was best to leave all the horses stand in their stalls while the air quality was terrible. Because they stood for 4 days we decided to just scratch and do right by the horse. It's a long year and there's always next week.

Bill- There's nothing wrong, with not allowing them to race, due to Air Quality.
Enjoy your Holiday Weekend

Seems like an upstanding guy!  Hard to believe this is the same guy we read about on fines/suspensions!

THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE MR. RHOADES. KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB AND I WISH YOU CONTINUED SUCCESS.

 . Your to be commended mr rhodes. Air quality in upstate ny pretty crappy too. Is all of canada aflame? Time to start running the smokey the bear commercials up north.

Worries about the air that the horses are breathing but not the shit he pumps into their veins. 

What I don’t get is that he came on here to defend himself for scratching horses for a legitimately good reason but didn’t when Petrelli was going crazy about how Rhoades personally killed a horse while jugging it.

He wants to look good won't talk about stuff like that or his meth tests

I'm hearing, he popped another positive

When the time comes hopefully the Warden won’t make Mr Bill go out to the yard on bad air quality days.

My favorite plop comment of all time.

The whole thing rubs me the wrong way, like it's a big publicity stunt and he's trying to look like a hero.

I'll bet that if Rhoades actually owned some or all of those horses they all would have raced.
