President of Thoroughbred Trainers Returns from Suspension

Postby Whirlaway » Mon Dec 23, 2013 7:14 am

Of all people to be suspended for a drug positive . . . the President of the California Thoroughbred Trainers. Shows that none are above and all are involved in the horse racing / pharmaceutical complex. What ever it takes to win the purse.

Good job by the Lab and CHRB here . . .

The CHRB does their job daily and speaks volumes for posts here suggesting bias. This particular trainer Jim Cassidy, has been training horses since 1989. Aside from this serious offense, only 3 other offenses show in his record, none for drug related offenses. He follows the rules, he's not a cheater. Of course the report by Paulick leaves out such facts....as he also left out Cassidy's assertion that he doesn't carry clenbuterol in his stable. Here's a less biased and more thorough article about trainer Cassidy and his return to training after this 15 day suspension. TJ
