We’ve promised to buy B. Gath a decent set of threads if he follows our driving instructions to the letter in the ID21 trot final. And why wouldn’t he? After all, the geriatric old has been* is in the presence of genius. No not Tony Peacock. Me. I don’t know Tony Peacock, but they tell […]
US trainer Bob Baffert is a long time drug cheat. A few years back his Triple Crown – Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont Stakes – winner Justify threw a positive but escaped on a technicality.
