Despicable people. I feel for the horses who are completely innocent in all this mess.

The UAE has pretty strict drug rules for race horses, more strict than the U.S.
The article states that Fishman is working with camels.

I can’t understand why Navarro’s attorney tried to tell the court that Navarro “loves” horses.
It is so obviously untrue and uttering that claim is guaranteed to anger anyone familiar with the evidence in this case. Why they thought the judge would swallow that line is beyond me.

“100 pages of character testimony from family, friends, former employees, and former owners, many of whom claimed Navarro cared deeply for his horses.“
Many of whom were in on the grift, more like.

I had forgotten that several well known people in the Olympic equestrian disciplines were using “compounds” being sold by Medivet Equine and had written great reviews on the now defunct site.
I only come over to this forum once in a while. Figured you all would already be discussing Fishman et al and would be interested in what was in the Washington Post this am. I don’t know much about horse racing but this guy just does not sound credible

Sometimes it’s better to plead guilty and get it over with.
Well he’s hospitalized and didn’t make court this morning, But I think the biggest bombshell of this case for me is Godolphin.
"Another prominent name that emerged in court in one of the wiretaps was that of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and the owner of the international successful Godolphin racing stable. On the other end of the line in the 2019 call was Florida harness trainer Adrienne Hall, who testified Jan. 27 that Fishman put her on a program with his PEDs and that she administered the drugs to a horse that won a low-level claiming race. Hall agreed to testify in exchange for a non-prosecution agreement.
On the wiretap Fishman appears to discuss a $2 million “program” that Dubai Equine, a veterinary hospital built by Sheikh Mohammed in 1995, devised for Thoroughbreds.
…“This is a program,” he says. “This is a program that Dubai Equine spent probably $2 million devising for their Thoroughbreds, you know? It is part of a program that uh, you know…there’s other stuff too.”
Fishman goes on to say that he was bringing Hall on slowly.
Fishman adds, “This is what they do for all their horses and overall, they are very happy. Sheikh (sic) Mohammed Maktoum (sic) said the best three years, you know, in the 30 years he has been racing and they are very happy. So, I’m sharing stuff with you. But then again that’s for Thoroughbreds so we just have to tweak some things out because some of the stuff I design for Standardbreds, they don’t work. So that’s why I’m charging you a fraction of what I normally charge so let’s just go baby steps, and we will just start from there, alright.”
Godolphin representatives were not available for comment Monday evening."
