Noble banned for life

[MCR]

Are they using stuff? I'm sure.. most any successful barn is.   Danny is a great driver and horsemen. Now with that said you cant just throw someone out and set them down without proof.  Search the barn.. truck and trailer... out of comp testing.. put them in a detention barn for a bit.  But to me without proof its all speculation and I don't think someone should be banned for just that SPECULATION

Due process, the cornerstone of democracy. Also the bedrock of why they sport is dead. But carry on, let these hillbillies make a mockery of a multi million dollar sport.

Horsemen with no success will never understand

Of course we can't, that's reserved for you great horsemen with a potent drench and vicious bleeder shot to understand.

Get it right.. drench em.. treat em for bleeding pain and tie up and you're all set! Oh dont forget to have the red cell strong!

Conditioning very important as well... get with the times and you wouldn't be on the plop so bitter

He was told at the end of the night...to hit the road by management! They don't need proof. There track...there rules.

The cries for due process. The facts are we have seen this from not only this trainer but a handful of others that have dominated and dropped horses by multiple seconds in Ohio.  Ohio wants to brag about their 3 tier racing for horses, but the reality of it is they have a staff of 12 at the Ohio State Racing Commission (OSRC) and only 2 Investigators.  Fellow horsemen are paralyzed to say anything for fear of being ostracized.

If you go back and look at when Scioto implemented a detention barn for a select group of trainers the performance dropped off considerably.  At some point,  Out of Competition Testing needs to be implemented. If you have a horse entered in to go, you have a set time period to produce the animal for such testing.   

OSRC needs beefed up and you need to start writing tickets!!!! It's become a mockery.

I was told Lucp[ark was behind the investiogation

Everyone is forgetting that the tracks are considered private property and they can ban any one they please at any time. It has been done in the past at Northfield....Mel Turcotte ring any bells. Aldrich threw him off and never gave a reason why and always said he did not have to. Turcotte was forced to train at Painesville

I am all for due process, integrity in process, and all that goes along with that. But, there is a line. IMO, this is so far over the line, that the line can no longer be seen. Exercise private property rights. I still think this is something the AG or US Attorney should take action on, but I know that won't happen. Status quo is just one part of the problem.
