Horse got away last, and came home charging in 29.4 to pick up the deuce. Hope he keeps rolling!

I actually met Marvin Raber today, and Four Starz Valley as well. Marvin is one hell of a nice guy!

Also I met the vet who certified him sound for the racing commission. He said the horse did not show any sign whatsoever of ever even having a broken coffin bone on his X-rays.

The track was like concrete today and this horse shows no sign of any soreness whatsoever. There is not a pimple on any of his legs. That being said, he is a hot horse without question. He had a problem getting to the gate because the gate starts at the top of the stretch in Dover, and the turn is very tight. There was no outrider and I would guess he spotted the field five lengths at the start today.

This is a pretty nice animal.

The whole story was one big scam to begin with. I am of the opinion that the horse was NEVER injured. I think The owner named Wendi and her trainer could not get the horse going forward, dumped the horse, and then tried to scam the horse back from Mr. Raber.
I still have yet to see any phony paperwork with a forged signature or hear the name of the person who the horse was given to originally. Why is that? One big cover up. I think they should throw that chick from NY named Doherty in jail for fraud. One huge POS!

Facts, something the clowns at BTW don't have. They are too busy patting each other on the back to see through the smoke. You got a 61 year old scotch drinking drunk trainer from cali named Fuzzypants getting 4 different stories coconfused and combined into one. Another trainer from NY named Doherty throwing around a bunch of wild accusations and she still refuses to name the person the horse was given to originally. And last but not least, the most WONDERFUL person of all, just ask the clowns at BTW, Wendi the wonderful owner. She dumped the horse and then tried to cry foul. That about sums it up.
Only one fact you need to know, Marvin raber owns and is racing the horse.
