A Nasty Little Pill
“The news that Motivator is still a racehorse and will have his final start in the Breeders’ Cup Turf later this month was an excellent way to start the week, but in the middle of the sugar was a nasty little pill. A couple of hours before post-time in New York on October 29, it seems likely that someone will enter Motivator’s box with a syringe, and administer a performance-enhancing drug to the Derby winner. Had the same thing happened at Epsom on June 4, Michael Bell might well be an ex-trainer by now” (Guardian).
