The Seven horses. Encke, Energizer, Genius Beast, Improvisation, Stamford, Steeler and Zip Top.

Those saying Camelot lost because of Encke being juiced up he would have been tested after the St Leger.

 

If I've lost that I'll kill STD

 

He was tested post race BUT these roids don't show up a few weeks post injection but their impact on the body remain.

 

take it to the bank pilgrims

 

Gutted to hear about Steeler was 1 of my fav flat horses last season

Sigh

 

F***ing scum.

No surprise since his dictatorship and the eldest of his half breed litter have both convictions for doping their endurance horses.

I fail to see how they can ever recover from this...the desire to win at all costs besmirches our sport yet again.

I don't think Coolmore will be commenting on this..John Magnier has more class in his fingernail than the odious tyrant has in his whole being.

 

this doping scandal now is getting really serious for racing.

I thought this was an isolated case. what the hell is going on with Godolphin?
did I watch a drug cheat win the Lockinge on Saturday???

 

if it is ever proved that Camelot was denied the triple crown because of a drug cheat then I will be furious.

I was at Doncaster last September and the atmosphere would have been electric had Camelot won and the result would have been fantastic for racing.

isnt Channel 4 racing bankrolled by all this lot too? the implications of all this are huge for the sport.

 

Bin Suroor horses all came back clean. Then again, I'm fairly certain that the BHA couldn't afford to lose Sheik Mohammed's money pumped into British racing so if any Bin Suroor horses came back positive (and would clearly indicate that it was a Godolphin wide operation as opposed to Al Zarooni working on his own) they wouldn't disclose it.

I still find it very, very hard to believe that Godolphin didn't fully know about the use of steroids/order them given that in Dubai Al Zarooni would have been hanged for this. I cannot for the life of me believe that Al Zarooni would be so stupid and risk everything without Godolphin knowing. I'm sure he'll be suitably compensated on the sly for taking the full blame for it.

 

5151 - what a good run that was. Well done Mr Sherwood.

 

8:40 Windsor risk it for a biscuit 7/2. Love this horse, won 3 out of 4, only danger seems to be the Hughes ride but at 7/2 its a good enough price for me.

 

There's one in the bumper that i'm interested in backing at 6/1 for an each way poke. Are They Your Own.

 

There's a real gamble going on Y A Bon.

 

going to have a small e/w dabble on Throwing Roses in 5.10 Redcar
