" Blea violated multiple state regulations before he joined the CHRB on July 1"
LOL..... this kinda stuff happens only in California and they still want to keep him on the board? No wonder the country is in a mess, because everything starts in California.

"One of my favorite things on the internet is from 2019 when Baffert tried to edit his own Wikipedia page but can’t figure out how it works and then no one replied to him to say how to do it lol"

Edit wiki? After reading the above link, I doubt that he would be so stupid to post that.
No one can do that. What goes on behind the doors there is explained in an article called Wikiwars", but in the last few years they have been infiltrated and they have been caught altering many political stuff they have and since then they have seen a drop in they yearly donations that they ask for.

Where did you find this? Hilarious. Yes, I am certain he is interested in erasing a LOT of his history right now ...

TO SHOW HOW STUPIDLY IGNORANT YOU PEOPLE ARE..................does anyone know what you examine? To give a horse thyroid meds?............he didn't EXAMINE A HORSE?........does anyone know what a thyroid med does? Why we give it?..........you can only give a thyroid med to a sick /ill horse?.............you people do not know anything! What is he supposed to look at?..........if you knew ANYTHING about what we do, you would know this BS.........it is a nothing burger........you even read it doesnt help RIGHT? DID YOU READ IT?
Yet, you think this is a big deal?......
BUTE?......IS NOTHING.........who here thinks bute is a big deal?

This "blowing everything out of proportion" is getting ridiculous

Tony Soprano • 2 years ago

yo, yo, Idiot Boy, calm down. You know nothing. Go back and read the dirty vet's report when Beta Bob had 7 of his steeds drop like flies. He was giving thyroxine ROUTINELY as a weight loss program!!! You better hope that necropsy doesn't show any thyroxine because if it does and there is no prescription for it, its bye-bye Beta Bob!! Remember Justify!!!

ZennyWinx • 2 years ago

Thyroxine also acts to mask other drugs.

Tony Soprano • 2 years ago

Yes it does. Its called Cobalt. Better hope that necropsy doesn't even smell like thryo or cobalt or else its Adios Muchacho to Beta Bob. Remember Justify!!!

The Bid • 2 years ago

The thyroxine is needed to balance the adverse effect that cobalt loading has on horses thyroid gland - it is a dead CERTAIN sign of blood doping!

Tony Soprano • 2 years ago

Here's the bad news for Beta Bob...if that necropsy even hints at thyroxine, its over EVEN IF IT WAS LEGALLY GIVEN. But I read the CA rule on thyroxine. Both the trainer and the vet have to report it in detailed form. Doubt that happened. Remember Justify!!!

The Bid • 2 years ago

Good point!
It is so satisfying to see the noose tightening on his smirking, sarcastic and condescending neck. That is his downfall: his gloating nature finally pushed people in the industry over the edge. He isn't liked by his peers, or the people who work at the tracks and have to deal with him. I even heard that he feels free to call up 1/ST executives and yell at them like they are his grooms. Haughtiness and ego are the salt pillars that will crumble his evil empire.

beartrap • 2 years ago

I don't know why your upset with the folks here, it's the California Vet Medical Board that's making the claims, go after them

Riddick U Lusse • 2 years ago

It's shocking to me that you want to make people think you know about this then ramble on showing not how little you know but that you know absolutely nothing. You clearly don't know a thing about Thyroxine.

MaryY • 2 years ago

Do you mean this vet was suspended because people here at hrn were talking about him?

provet5 • 2 years ago

You think giving a horse a thyroid med is terrible?.....What is the vet gonna see?............nothing......do horses talk?
If you go to a dr, tell him you have a head ache........how does he know? From looking at you?
There are so many rules.......people can barely do their jobs......if you followed every rule at work, it probably would be too hard to get something done.....
This does not mean you are bad, wrong, or should be fired........

Riddick U Lusse • 2 years ago

You clearly know nothing about Thyroxine.

MaryY • 2 years ago

Yes, I do think it's terrible to give an otherwise healthy athlete of a horse unnecessarymedicine. However, I was also wondering where to get some of the same to see if I could run a mile. Perhaps to get some cheetos or donuts.

tigertalk • 2 years ago

try Amazon.
BTW congrats on what took place two days ago/

Thanks.

"Max Prison Sentence For Vet Rhein"

The NextGen Handicapper • 2 years ago

Three vets were charged by VMB and Dr Blea is the only one whose license was suspended after an emergency hearing. The other two vets are Sarah Graybill and Vince Baker, who are still practicing pending a formal hearing.

What I find interesting is Mr Baker was also the attending vet of both Cruel Intention and Eclair before their races in 2019 and whose B u t e positives are now part of NYRA charge sheet against Baffert.

Mr Baker not only treated both horses but was also supposedly responsible for proper handling and keeping of the meds in the barn. The barn inspection following the Eclair positive, however, found that "25 different kinds of medications that are not properly labeled and expired" and there was "no lock on the medication cabinet".

provet5 • 2 years ago

who thinks this is a big deal?.........does anyone know these drugs?......bute?...seriously?
What is next? Sugar cubes?............
Everyone has lost their minds.....

The NextGen Handicapper • 2 years ago

I did not know he was charged by VMB and his license is also under the threat of suspension along with Dr. Blea. So I found it interesting.

provet5 • 2 years ago

they are jumping the shark.......bute is nothing........the point.......this is getting so dumb........this vet is not bad.........what he did is nothing............this world has lost their minds on EVERYTHING............it is a joke.........
a vet gave someone a drug?.............big deal..........everyone in this game seems to not know anything.....
Everything is a crime........therapeutics are cheating.......
What a bunch of hysterical people........
This is NOTHING

Morvich • 2 years ago

I agree. I think the world has lost its mind, too. What purpose does it serve to exist in this insane world? I often think that I need to leave it, if you know what I mean. I'll bet you feel the same as I do.

Giovanni • 2 years ago

😂😂😂

MaryY • 2 years ago

he's gonna sing like a bird

The NextGen Handicapper • 2 years ago

No you aren't getting it.

For NYRA hearing, I am pretty sure bute positive isn't worthy of any serious discussion. I mean it's very minor being ARCI Class 4 NSAIDS. But the mislabeling and unlocked cabinet are the parts which will be stressed upon during the hearing in an attempt to prove irresponsible and sloppy barn operation.

provet5 • 2 years ago

good lord..........no one seems to understand anything........this stuff is comical..........this is about them throwing everything on the pile, to make him look bad.........
It is so easy to sway people in this world with propaganda, because people are so dumb..........politics, everything........
This stuff is so laughable.......people see this, and say OMG.......
You are one of the smartest people on here........but i'm telling you........this is nothing.......

The NextGen Handicapper • 2 years ago

It's not about you and I or anyone else. It's about the charges and arguments in the hearing and you would be surprised how it goes, what is said, and what is blamed. Everything goes, no matter how small or silly.

RICHIE P • 2 years ago

According to other publication, the charges are mostly minor infractions and incomplete bookkeeping.

JanBer • 2 years ago

The allegation that he prescribed thyroxine to a large number of horses he had not examined is pretty major, I think.

ZennyWinx • 2 years ago

“Minor paperwork violations” wasn’t how the vet board classified its allegations, and it wouldn’t be trying to keep Blea from overseeing the Medina Spirit necropsy if it weren’t concerned about his impartiality and practice standards and habits — and client list.

Tony Soprano • 2 years ago

That's the major point. They were out to keep this guy away from Medina Spirit. Two things about that....one is that the vet board must have gotten some political pressure from someone because they wouldn't know Medina Spirit from Mr. Ed. second, what does somebody know about what is going on with that necropsy? Something is up. Remember Justify!!!

ZennyWinx • 2 years ago

Results of blood and tissue tests take weeks or a couple of months. Remember the lag in Arrogate’s case.

Giovanni • 2 years ago

Yup. There is a reason for all this focus on the necropsy. It wasn't an innocent de*a*th. You will see soon...

The Bid • 2 years ago

None of them were!
I was reading the official report that you posted: #3 had EPM and those idiots were injecting him because he was 'weak behind', so he was undiagnosed.
Combine that with how Baffert's barn allowed a lower leg injury on Lord Nelson to blossom into full blown foundering, and you see a pattern of neglect!

Giovanni • 2 years ago

Too bad those middle-of-the-night groupies last night can't be bothered to read any of the actual reports/documents/filings. None of them have been near a racetrack let alone have a clue how the backside functions. They show up to pat each other on the back---that's about it. One would think baffles could afford to hire people who have at least graduated from high school.

The Bid • 2 years ago

LOL!

Giovanni • 2 years ago

Did you read the change pe*t*ition I posted the link to? Perfect summation and has other pertinent links to back it up.

The Bid • 2 years ago

I did. I got you some signatures and those people are probably getting you some, too.

The NextGen Handicapper • 2 years ago

Sorry. Deleted my last post because I talked about something else.

Are you talking about NYRA hearing (because that's what I was talking about) or Blea?

RICHIE P • 2 years ago

Blea.

The NextGen Handicapper • 2 years ago

Oh ok. This thread is a little confusing.

But regarding Blea, if charges weren't enough this temporary suspension is more than enough for him to resign from his post. He became controversial after the charges and even more so now. I don't think he has any ethical or moral grounds to remain on the post.

RICHIE P • 2 years ago

There is a formal hearing with the Vet board on Jan 21. I wonder how that will turn out?

Resign? I don't know about that.

The NextGen Handicapper • 2 years ago

I would hope and rely that outside forces (The Governor, Diane Feinstein, media, and PETA) will force him out eventually. This new controversy isn't good.

perspicacious • 2 years ago

The "news controversy" isn't good?
Oh, but don't even mention the horses, you duplicitous wench. What about their well being?
Hmmm?

RICHIE P • 2 years ago

Points to think about.

Have a good night.
