Word around Ake using Swedish blood builder and Gural turns blind eye to it. Out of competition testing done this week on many barns. Guess who didn’t get tested? Yes Ake! His horses turn from out of trot to monsters. Other trainers are pissed!!!
I don't know if there was OTC testing. If there was two top stables were missing their Wheaties. Burke & Takter are big stakes players & both were not heard from. The telling sign is when some top ones rode rail & lost ground in the stretch.

English version please.
No individual can be, or try to be, bigger than an industry. Else that industry fails. Seeing track owners in their own winners circle sickens me. Looks like something that woukd expect to see happen in Russia, not the US
Don’t have a problem with Gural owning and racing horses at his own tracks. Track owners have been doing it forever. He just has a love affair with Ake and lets him get away with anything he wants. There’s no way Ake can just be that much better than everyone else and yes the NJRC did out of competition testing this week. He plugs them when he wants. If Gap Kronos has any trot in the Hambo eliminations there needs to be a full investigation. He had none last night.
Gural owning horses at his own track has always been a huge conflict of interest. No one has ever seemed to mind and I’m not really sure why.
