So if Hollendorfer has a runner in the Breeders Cup he wouldn't be able to enter?

If the BC doesn't relocate then I imagine he would be unable to start his horses... I did read somewhere in one piece that Del Mar was also following suit and would not allow Hollendorfer to start horses there as well as the Stronach tracks. Maybe he will move east with his entire stable.
??

These are weird times we are living in... lots of change afoot. When the dust settles hopefully we are left with some form of racing still in existence that's an overall better product.

I was shocked when I saw this in the news... and then I recalled a few of the horses of his that met a terrible end and was less shocked. But really, there are many trainers who are accused of worse (and perform worse acts in reality)  and they suffer no stiff repercussions or penalities.
I don't consider Dorf a scapegoat per se either. Maybe he's being used an example for others, but he's currently got multiple violations from the CHRB on record, so innocent he is not. It was just a matter of time imho, but some of the others are probably laughing right now (O'Neill, for starters).
Not too many truly legit good guys in this sport and that's finally coming out unfortunately.  Conversely, there is also probably a very small percentage who are actually terrible people with no care for the horses at all. Most occupy the grey area in between and unfortunately any and all can fall prey to unregulated capitalism and its dire ugliness.
This (again) on Asmussen and following in the wake of Brown's charges.... Might see the end of the sport , at least in CA, in my lifetime. Never thought I'd think that...

Thanks for the call! (and thanks Cigarshop) Sorry I screwed your birthday, Ruff...  ;)
This is the second of these that I've won without handicapping. So that must mean my 'capping skills suck and I should just hit the randomizer more often!  :chickendance:
