Could these be the saviors of horse racing?
If one buys into the theory that there is no such thing as bad press, then these two men have done their damndest to keep our sport in the proverbial spotlight. Dutrow was being Dutrow when he stated that he gives Winstrol to his horses on the fifteenth of each month and it brought the [H]ouse down on drugs in racing.(Literally and figuratively)
IEAH, while questionable in their social quotient, has kept Big Brown running and is pointing him to the BC Classic with a legitimate older horse still around somewhere.
Speaking of Curlin, he is probably voting for McCain this year.
RNA's are up and sales are down. Coolmore is on the sidelines and the Sheikh is buying up the dross as if he came from an oil rich nation. Could it be that we should have actually raced some of these horses before we shipped them off to stud?
Apparently 2,000,000,000 people watched the Tour de France in 2005, and this for a sport that is mired in a drug controversy. Good thing we don't have this problem.
If Lance can do it, why not Hard Spun or Peace Rules?
Raceday360 wire is up and running. Check it out. Tell the NTRA (I don't think they are clued into this internet thing yet) to check it out too.

You have punched a wealth of information into a few short paragraphs!
Raceday360 just might be the website that finally gets me fired from my day job! It's just so hard not to keep checking in to see what's new!
