Great article.

I found this article from the link below to be very interesting, especially the historical aspect of racing in America.


Also a very important point about John Servis and others was made about their upcoming trial. While wanting them to get their just dues for illegal actions I never thought of the impact it will have on our sport. Hopefully they'll plea out but its doubtful at best.

That's an excellent article, Mitch. (A minor point, it's Jason who is indicted, not brother John.)

If you want to read about Kentucky racing in the bad ol' days, I suggest Headless Horsemen - A Tale of Chemical Colts, Subprime Sales Agents, and the Last Kentucky Derby on Steroids. It was written by Jim Squires, a former editor of the Chicago Tribune and breeder of Monarchos.

The old America was better.
