    genuinely the biggest pile of ****e ever put on paper

    If this guy knows half of what he claims to know, he should focus on the facts and refrain from calling out individuals in a derogatory way.

    For instance, calling Leo Powell of The Field "Leo The Gutless" for merely protecting the paper from a potential libel case really does reflect poorly on this writer.

    And the parallels between Joseph Goebbels and the author's refusal on a FOI request from the IHRB is outlandishly offensive to the Racing Board.

    This "newsletter" is not about corruption in horse racing, it is about one thing and one thing only - William Jones.

    And I will also be revealing who the
    Lance Armstrong of Irish racing is as a
    follow-up to the story about Jim Bolger’s
    doping allegations made in the Sunday Independent recently. It’s got to be someone
    really big to make the brave Bolger so reluctant to name him.
    Bet we never get a name.

    Time for Bolger to put up or shut up.

    He is maligning everone in Irish racing including the people who bailed out his sorry arrogant bully ass when he was going under.

    Yep,he didnt have to name names to the comittee but when he was going to be asked hard questions and kimmage not cheerleading him on his mouth wasnt so big.

    He has cast aspersions on every irish winner and trainer that has raced and been tested all over the world.

    Aidan O’Brien’s form has dropped since Bolger spoke up. What are the chances

    Dunno anything about the racing game but that's how doping works usually

    The biggest names with the biggest winners are the ones at it and getting away with it

    See above about Lance Armstrong

    Its not cycling,as much as Paul Kimmage trys to make it out that it is,just because he misses the limelight he got from Lance Armstrong and cycling,but is trying hard to wish it so.

    Man at Irish racetrack meets Jim Bolger.
    "Hi Jim,we were in the same class together years ago".

    "Yeah,but we are in a different class now",say Jim,and walks away from him.

    Why be so aggressive and rude to somebody who pointed out a fact ?

    Obviously you feel it is just a coincidence, others don't, time will tell.

    What fact was pointed out? A throwaway statement that Aidan O'Briens form has dipped without anything to support it? Thats not a fact its an accusation.

    And only the 2 English classics, 1 Irish Classic and Two French classics so far this year and two Group 1 winners the weekend just gone. Form has fallen off a cliff alright

    The Derby horses couldn’t get home.

    To my eye the only top trainer whose horses are not on the 'gear' is Aidan's because his results are so poor. Performance suppressors they are on.

    You can nearly lay them blind when the money comes for them. Inconsistent and terrible campaigning of his horses for the past 3 or 4 years. They havent a clue as to how they will run. Nearly put Tabor in the poor house.

    As for the bould Jim, he doesnt know the half of what goes on in his yard! He shouldn't be throwing stones. Poetic Flare at Ascot..........
