Brian Pelling was the original. He passed his chemistry knowledge down to all the scum that everyone thinks are great trainers such as stepson Brett, Chris Ryder, Noel Daley, Nifty Norman. Ross Croghan, Marc Aubin and others. Brian was the biggest chemist maybe of ALL TIME. Colen Mosher was scum too.
He most certainly was. Pelling was the master of the “stomach bomb” and it’s absolutely barbaric if the tube goes into the lungs instead of tummy.
Chris Ryder was a hair dresser before he came to us
Bill RobinsonGelrodPenaback about 50 years ago a trainer with the last name of Pope at Brandywine
did Bill Robinson's use of the aluminum shoes make them go faster also?
The truth of it all is when you start seeing trainers winning above 25%, something is not right.
At the Meadows, you see some big improvements when Pirillo and Presto get new horses.But nothing shows up in the tests, so must be great trainers.
Testing can't keep up with the chemists. A tweak here and a tweak there and testing is a waste of time. However, what does work is search warrants and not one commission does it. If these commissions would raid some of these trainer's homes, I would guarantee they would find evidence to put the scum in jail but none do which leads me to believe that they really don't give a fuck.
But you would think a former groom or other stable employee, who had a grudge, would come forward. But you never see that.
Disregarding drugs, Robinson at M1 used to go with 4 aluminum shoes, lower the head and let the pants out 2 inches. He swore by this rigging.
