Up front I will say I had incredible respect and admiration for Chip Noble. Beyond respect and admiration. I bought a very good horse from him and kept it with him. I knew him well. Regardless, today, I do not regularly watch Scioto, except for sire stakes, grand circuit, etc. I don't care if the track is short. I don't care about weather, track bias, or how much a beer is. Track ownership/management should have shown up at the barn this morning, packed up Dan and Chriti's entire barn, horses and all, escorted them to the stable gate, and kicked them both in the ass as they threw them out and told them they are not welcomed back. Period. No discussion, nothing. Goodbye. Period.
IMO, Ohio is just as bad as PA. I have zero faith in the OSRC. They have zero credibility. If they were even in the same universe as legitimate, they would have the AG or one of the US Attorney's in OH take action. They would do the same thing Williams did in the Southern District in NJ against Navarro, Servis, et al. I am fairly certain this won't happen.
