Swapping directly from the saddle of one of MV Agusta's four-cylinder 1000cc F4 sportsbikes to one of company's smaller F3 triples makes you immediately aware of important differences.
First, the ergos aren't as contorting, making the F3 feel almost as comfortable as a Gold Wing by comparison. Then there's the more flickable steering, aided by the lighter weight and contra-rotating crankshaft of the triple.
As for power, it's only in the upper third of the rev range that the thousand makes its superior output known. That's provided the F3 is one of the new 800cc versions, which feature longer piston strokes than the 675cc alternative and therefore provide the best grunt-to-weight ratio in the MV Agusta showroom.
As for bang-for-buck, the 798cc F3 nails its F4 1000R cousin to the wall with a $25,990 sticker instead of $34,990. You could add the extra grand charged for the addition of an optional race-mode ABS system to the F3 800 and still ride out of the showroom with the arguably-better bike and an $8K saving in purchase premium.
If I was a prospective F4 buyer, I'd be haggling hard for a price reduction given the many attractions of the latest smaller-capacity MV Agusta sportsbike. It's also debatably the better-looking bike from a distance, thanks to the way Brit designer Adrian Morton refined and sharpened the Tamburini-penned F4's inspired visuals for the F3.
Up close, the appeal of the smaller MV does pale a bit however, as it lacks the finer detailing of the 1000, including the adjustable footpegs and high-quality steering damper of the F4.
There's still plenty to admire about the 800 F3, and it retains the position of the 675 version at the top of the Supersports class for its aristocratic build quality and detailing, but you're immediately conscious that it was built to attain a certain price point where you suspect that the lire-counters lost just about every argument over the production cost of the F4.
Then there's the difference in the suspension quality of the two bikes, and it only takes one of our notoriously lumpy backroads to notice how an F3 bucks and ricochets off the bumps where the F4 sucks it up and glides.
There's little need to stand on the pegs of the F4 when approaching sudden deteriorations in the road surface, whereas it becomes the preferred mode of operation when riding an F3 in such conditions. MV Agusta bumped up the spring rates of the 800cc F3 in acknowledgement of the bike's extra speed and more powerful brakes than its 675cc sibling, and the change is most welcome when charging around a smooth racetrack at speed, but it has resulted in reduced ride compliance when bimbling around the back country at sports-touring pace. I'd be seeking out 675-spec springs and a steering damper for the 800 if buying one.
Such a scenario remains a mouth-watering prospect despite the butch spring rates of the 800. For the bigger engine forgives many of the sins of the 675, despite the only changes being new engine management software, a bump in compression ratio from 13.0:1 to 13.3, and the 8.4mm extension to the stroke of the pistons (54.3mm instead of the 675's 45.9) that adds the extra cee- cees and results in better- proportioned architecture due to the 78mm bore diameters that both F3 triples share.
The result is an endearing friskiness through the middle of the rev range where the 675 feels comparatively flat, and decent lifts in power and torque output (up by an extra 20-horspower and 17Nm). Despite its raised final drive gearing, an 800 F3 is constantly tugging its front wheel away from terra firma at half-throttle in any of the first three gears, and the added mid-range muscle masks some the of the fuelling imperfections of the 675. The brand-new 800 displayed some of the 675's tendency to hunt at steady partial throttle upon first encounter, but it got better as the settings adjusted themselves to the fuel quality, temperature fluctuations, and rich oxygen levels of New Zealand riding conditions.
By the time I handed the 800 reluctantly back, the Eldor engine management system had identified settings that represented acceptable progress. As an illustration of the challenges facing all developers of motorcycle engine management software, the F3 has no less than 32 separate electronic control units developed for different regions in which the bike is sold, and the each then undergoes a period of self-analysis and final tweaking over the initial stages of ownership. Eldor will also continue to provide engine management upgrades over the life of the F3, with new fuel maps added to the ECU when the MV is being serviced.
The version of traction control used by MV Agusta is a little cruder than some systems, using just a single wheel speed sensor at the rear, and matching that feedback to engine and gear info to target the trigger points of the eight settings. Wish I could tell you how effective it was, but it never once chimed in. I'd like to say that was due to my preference for the least trigger-happy settings, but it was more likely that the superb Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa tyres simply provided flawless performance throughout the entire test period.
Is the F3 800 MV Agusta's finest bike? With tests of the new 800 Dragster and 800 Rivale streetbikes still to come this year, it's too early to make such a call. It certainly is the brand's finest sportsbike in terms of performance-for-price.
MV Agusta F3 800 ABS:
Engine: 798cc liquid-cooled dohc 12-valve fuel-injected inline triple, 108.8kW (148bhp) at 13,000rpm and 88Nm at 10,600rpm.
Transmission: Six-speed gearbox, chain final drive.
Frame: Tubular tellis/cast alloy hybrid frame with cast aluminium single-sided swingarm, 43mm fully- adjustable Marzocchi front forks with 125mm of travel; fully adjustable Sachs rear monoshock with 123mm of travel.
Price: $26,990 as tested ($25,990 without ABS)
Hot: Refines the performance of the acclaimed F3 675 to such a level that it overshadows the F4 flagship; refined race-mode ABS system is worth spending the extra $1000 for.
Not: Over-sprung suspension; TC system isn't as sophisticated as some; MV Agusta's limited dealer access in New Zealand; trackday riding buddies will hate you.

The Best Sugar Cookies
The Best Sugar Cookies
Lanell Lange submitted her recipe for frosted sugar cookies.
2 1/4 cup margarine (Imperial works best)
2 1/4 cup sugar
6 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
8 1/4 cup flour
6 tsp. baking powder
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add baking powder and flour, one cup at a time mixing until blended but do not overmix. The dough may be stiff and necessary to blend the last flour in by hand. Do not chill dough. Place part of dough on floured surface and roll to about 1/4 -1/2 inch thickness. I like mine thick. Bake cookies for 7 to 10 minutes. Do not overbake. I do not like for mine to get brown except for maybe just around the edges. I use an airbake cookie sheet and bake for 9 minutes in a gas oven.
Quick-Pour Icing Recipe
10 cups sifted powdered sugar (1 to 2 pound bag plus 1 cup)
3/4 cup water
3 Tbls light corn syrup
1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
Food color as desired
Place sugar in a saucepan. Combine water and corn syrup. Add to sugar and stir until well mixed. Place over low heat. Do not allow temperature of icing to exceed 100 degrees. Remove from heat, stir in flavor and food color. Dip top side of cookies in icing. Let excess drip off and place on waxed paper and let dry completely. You may add sprinkles while still wet but my favorite is to let dry completely and decorate with edible markers.

It's not enough that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg kicked smokers out of restaurants and onto the curb. He wants them to kick the habit altogether.
Bloomberg started an anti-tobacco initiative three years ago, hoping his example -- he kicked in $125 million out of his own charitable wallet -- would prompt others to take up the cause. That strategy is now paying dividends, with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation now on board.
Bloomberg and Gates just held a news conference where they announced that Bloomberg will put up an additional $250 million, while the Gates Foundation pledges to spend $125 million, including $24 million going directly to Bloomberg's effort.
p.s. The Gates Foundation is spending much more money -- $500 million -- on its new downtown Seattle headquarters. Hey, they're entitled.

MasterMind 2013 Finalists: TM Sisters
Miami New Times' MasterMind Awards honors the city's most inspiring creatives. This week, we're profiling the 10 finalists, selected by our staff from over 100 submissions, who are in the running to receive one of three 2013 MasterMind awards, each of which comes with a fat $1,000 check. This year's MasterMind Award winners will be announced Thursday, February 28, at Artopia, our annual soiree celebrating Miami culture. For tickets and more information, visit the website.
It took a visit to wintry Sweden for the TM Sisters to realize the extent to which the Magic City's neon aesthetic animates their work. In fact, insatiably inventive siblings Monica and Tasha Lopez De Victoria consider the 305's relentless energy their medium.
"We didn't realize how influenced by Miami we were until we started traveling," the 32-year-old Monica says.
Tasha, who is three years younger, adds, "In Stockholm, where we went to deliver a lecture, we were shocked at how homogeneous and muted everything is. Everywhere you turned, the colors were like these different, monochromatic shades of gray."

Born in Miami and raised in West Kendall, both sisters were home-schooled before selecting high schools for the arts curriculum: Tasha chose South Miami Senior High, and Monica attended Miami Sunset Senior High for a photography class. Tasha's studies continued at New World School of the Arts, while Monica studied photography at Florida International University. Both say their parents instilled creativity in them early.
"Our mom's passion is helping other artists unblock their creativity," Tasha says.
After finishing school, the sisters began staging epic performance pieces and video projections that combined everything from synchronized swimming to spandex-clad roller skaters.
In 2005, their video Superpowers -- which featured dozens of Miami artists dancing in front of a geometric blue and pink background -- went viral and later earned a slot in a European exhibit. In 2007, they made the cover of ARTnews' September issue. And last year, New Times named the sisters Best Local Artists in the "Best of Miami" issue and finalists in last year's MasterMind Awards contest.
Today, the sisters work in the DWNTWN ArtHouse, a space that also houses Turn-Based Press, Bas Fisher Invitational, and several local artists' studios.
Fresh from Shimmer, a techno-tropical extravaganza at the Adrienne Arsht Center's Miami Made Festival, the TM Sisters are preparing for their first solo show at Wynwood's David Castillo Gallery in September.
Standing in front of a massive green cyclotron wall while an '80s mixtape booms through the studio, Tasha works on a fractal grouping of mirrored glass shards. Dozens of brightly sequined costumes hang on opposing walls. Their newest project is still incubating, but it promises to be anything but Stockholm-gray.
"Whether it's employing those large mirrors, the green screen, or a body covered with lots of hair, it usually ends up depending on whatever best conveys our message most clearly," Tasha says.

Lawnmower torches Arbor Vitae on Portland Drive
The riding lawn mower driven by Norma Cannon overheated and made contact with dry arbor vitae owned by Lee and Norma Curtis, sending more than a dozen of the tightly-packed trees up in flames. The mower, visible at far right, was totaled. No one was injured; neighbors first kept the fire at bay with garden hoses and Westside and Hood River Fire Departments responded and doused the fire before it reached any structures. Westside Fire chief Jim Trammell, in blue shirt, directs firefighters. The video was taken by Capt. Dave Smith of Hood River Fire Department. Enlarge

I switched from American Family to Progressive in Sept 2010 because they have been my motorcycle insurance carrier for over 2 years and American Family decided they should be making more off me, which is totally understandable because my driving record is terrible. I just totaled my 2006 Chrysler Sebring Touring convertible about a week ago. I had a couple issues with my claim:
The first issue was Progressive had the wrong vehicle identification number. In 2008 I totaled an identical Sebring convertible and American Family never updated the vin on their files. So for over 2 years they had been covering a car that I hadn't owned. When I switched to Progressive I gave them the VIN off my American Family policy. Yes, it should have been correct on my AMFAM cards and policy, but I should have checked it.
So after I made my claim, Progressive and I fought for 2 days about my current Sebring having been a prior salvage already. Once the adjuster went out to see the car we all discovered the VINs didn't match. My former agent from AMFAM stepped up and took responsibility for the mistaken VIN. Thank you American Family, sincerely.
The second issue is they offered me a serious low-ball on the value of my car. I meticulously maintain my vehicles. They are spotless inside and out. No major paint defects or dents, no engine lights, no issues ever. The adjuster commented on how beautifully maintained he could tell my car was before the accident. They offered me $8200 after the deductible. I had a $500 Python remote/alarm system and $500 aftermarket heated seats.
The "inferno red pearl coat" color was also an additional cost over the other colors. It had 1 year old tires as well. And there was also a 100k mile extended warranty and the car had 68k miles on it. Of course I have no receipts to prove any of the aftermarket stuff or even the tires. Lesson learned. DO YOUR RESEARCH and KEEP ALL YOUR OLD DOCUMENTS AND RECEIPTS when you're making a claim.
I ended up getting just over $10,000 after fighting with my representative and showing him five comparable vehicles nationwide and speaking with his supervisor. He tried to tell me that my car was selling for $4400. I found that car he was talking about and checked the VIN to find out it was a salvage, it absolutely did not compare.
Red Sebrings in the trim level lower than mine with cloth seats, no new tires, no warranty, no spoiler, no heated seats, no remote starter, and higher miles were going for $9,900 on sites like autotrader.com. My representative's supervisor agreed to a $9,000 base price with 50% of my remote start cost and heated seat cost plus tax, license, and transfer fees.
Overall I am happy enough though I feel I put in way more effort than I should have had to. I now hate that I do not have a direct agent to speak to, you're assigned a representative when you make a claim. If I could afford moving back to American Family, I would. I will be looking for a new insurance company for my new car and my motorcycle.
MEDFORD, NEW YORK -- I had an accident back in June with one of Progressive's insured. I was driving straight in my lane, when out of nowhere, this guy in an SUV hit the driver's side of my car and sent me off the road into a telephone pole. There was a witness and everything. She said he was talking on his cell phone, he didn't see me until the last minute and tried to jerk the truck back but it was too late... he had already hit me. Well, he lied in his statement claiming I was in the shoulder.
I had a feeling that the insurance company would give me a hard time so I consulted with an attorney who gave me the idea to write a letter to the witness asking her to state that I was not in the shoulder and that I never left my lane. So I did, and she wrote back stating that there was no possible way I could've been in the shoulder because there were cars parked there. There is a small shopping center so cars usually do park there. She said I was in the lane when he hit me.
Well, Progressive did not care about anything she had to say in her statement. They did not care about the letter she sent back to me, they didn't care that he was on the cell phone... they pretty much just don't care!! They closed my claim only six weeks after the accident. Luckily, my insurance company, GEICO, does not find me at fault. The adjustor at Progressive gave me an estimate for my car AND told me it looked like liability was in my favor! Next thing I know, they're telling me I'm not getting anything from them.
Listen to how stupid this sounds: It's illegal to drive in the shoulder, but it's also illegal to talk on a cell phone, right? So even if I was in the shoulder, which I wasn't, and it's illegal, shouldn't he be somewhat at fault if it's illegal to talk on a cell phone? You'd think so, right? This was their excuse: The police officer did not issue him a ticket for being on the cell phone, therefore, to Progressive, he was never on his cell phone!! Ridiculous!! I guess they treat their insured's okay, but when it comes to the people their insured's hurt, they could give two poops!!
So the point of this is to tell people: Try to avoid accidents as best as you can because if they're a driver insured with Progressive and it's their fault, YOU PROBABLY WON'T GET ANYTHING FROM THEM... EVEN WITH A WITNESS!! They're liars and they're cheap! My car was worth $2000 lousy dollars and they couldn't even give that to me!! Hopefully GEICO will be relentless and make them pay all of my medical bills!! As for right now, I'm without a car and this liar gets to drive around in his truck still with a few scratches on it!!
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS -- I've been with Progressive since 2013. I haven't gotten into any accidents for more than 5 years, no citations and my bill is paid on time. Each and every renewal my monthly bill goes up. Since I've been with them it has increased by $60-$70. Every time I speak with them of why it is always the same thing, "The rates have gone up in your area." No help and it just keeps increasing. Won't recommend them at all.
MESA, ARIZONA -- Stay away from this company, and avoid at all costs. Getting in an accident with these people, fault or no fault, they will rip you off. Was involved in an accident in 2011, was rear ended by a Progressive policy holder which totaled my and injured myself causing PCS. Had to get a lawyer to have my case settled, they will at all costs make you look like the criminal instead of the victim.
OREGON -- I am a Progressive customer (sadly) who was hit by another Progressive customer (I was sitting in my parked vehicle when I was backed into by the other driver). Progressive has told me that if the other driver doesn't respond to their calls within 30 days then they will not cover the accident and I will have to take the other driver to court. This company will try anything to not have to honor their coverage. I'm going to have to take both the other driver and Progressive to court. Progressive policy holders BEWARE. Run from this company!
My dad had Progressive insurance for 10 years, but we noticed for the past few years that his rates were going up for no reason. His last renewal notice was high by almost $500, so he called them to clarify last week. They informed him that he had 2 points on his history and as a result his rate increased.
He was shocked because he was not aware of this, so he went to the DMV to retrieve his full vehicle history, and noticed that it was spotless other than a 4 stop sign he ran in early 2011; not given any points for it. I called them the next day so they could rectify this, and the lady was very rude but gave me the fax number to send over the papers from the DMV, she said that I could check back the next day to ensure they had received it.
I called the next evening and spent close to 3 hours dealing with this situation. As it turns out, Progressive "awards" points to their drivers if they have any violations, whether their driving records are clean or not. She knew that this was not showing on my dad's driving history, but regardless, they still increased his rates.
I requested proof of paperwork for this, and she told me that she could only give me a paper with the date of the violation, but not the point system given as this was an "internal decision", so regardless she couldn't help us. Not only were the news bad, but the way I was provided this information was rude and this lady sounded bothered to be on the phone with me.
I am very upset with them because despite my dad's loyalty to them, they have had no consideration towards him. I got on the phone with Geico right after that and the lady I spoke to was nice and pleasant, and you can really tell the difference in training that these company associates receive. We also insured his home with Geico at the same time. I have never put a complaint before against anyone, but this has tipped me over, and I will tell as many people as I can, not insure with Progressive.
IDAHO -- I was rear ended from a person insured by Progressive. After a week or two of waiting for them to get back to me, they told me to take my car to Lithia Ford in Boise to get an estimate. We did only to find out that we needed to make an appointment with ONLY their own examiner to look at the car. Now it is over a month and they sent someone who was supposed to call me, the owner to meet with them to look at the car. The guy they sent out to the site where the car was left a check on the front seat for $552.28 to replace a new back bumper, fix the trunk and electric trunk opener, fix the tail pipe, replace the crushed license plate and repaint.
I was outraged and called Todd to see how he came up with amount. I asked him if he was going to do all that work for $552.28 (Which was less than half of all the estimates we got from repair shops.) Had to ask him twice. He told me no, that he does not do repairs. I called Progressive and had them set up an appointment at the shop so I could have a qualified estimator look at the car. Then the original adjuster's supervisor called me to tell me not to bring it in and that the check amount and claim would stand.
I have already called my agent to have her switch me from Progressive on all my toys and I will spread the news about these frauds anywhere I can. We are also doing up a complaint with the Bureau of Insurance. I am not looking for a new car, just a reasonable settlement at least close to what the estimates we got from reputable shops were. DO NOT GO WITH PROGRESSIVE!!! Try Safeco or anyone else. You get what you pay for.
GLOBE, ARIZONA -- Monday night a deer jumped in front of our car and my wife couldn't avoid hitting it. It damaged the front passenger side so badly that I couldn't open the passenger door. Tuesday morning at 6:30AM I called Progressive. They assured me that they would send someone out to inspect the vehicle on Thursday. I asked, "Why not today?" Their response was "Tomorrow is a holiday". Thursday came and went, without a phone call or a representative as scheduled. I emailed my claim representative and received no response. I called and she said she didn't know anything about it, although I talked to her on Tuesday.
She called back and said that it would be a week before someone could come to look at the car. When I asked why, she said it was because I live two hours from her office. So it's not okay for Progressive (The paid service provider) to be inconvenienced for a few hours, but it is okay for me (The paying customer) to be inconvenienced a whole week without a car to drive. They are supposed to provide a rental car, which they are clearly putting off as long as they can. They didn't even give me a courtesy call to let me know they weren't showing up on their originally scheduled day.
When I complained about the week delay, she suggested I just keep driving my banged up vehicle because it was still "drivable". So what am I supposed to do, jump in and out of the window like the Dukes of Hazard? When I switched over from State Farm, Progressive promised me equal or better service. That was a lie because State Farm would never take more than a day to inspect the vehicle, would never make me wait a week for my rental car, and would never suggest I drive an unsafe, damaged vehicle.

GOP's senator's sex scandal could show up in Obamacare debate
There are 52 comments on the New York Daily News story from Sep 13, 2013, titled GOP's senator's sex scandal could show up in Obamacare debate. In it, New York Daily News reports that:
Sen. David Vitter, whose phone number was found in the black book of D.C. Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey in 2007, admitted to committing a 'serious sin,' but called the political move by Harry Reid - a proposal to refuse contributions to legislators healthcare if a pol solicited a prostitute - the act of an 'old-time Vegas mafia thug' and 'desperate.'

after bill Clinton got away with his sex scandal, anything else is a non event.
a lonely senator a long way from home is not on the same scale as the Prez of the US getting his knob waxed under the table in the oval office during working hours.

#18 Sep 15, 2013
Of course, the teabagger "budget".
The Path to Prosperity. House Republicans are advancing a plan of action for American renewal.
House Budget Committee - Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Resolution.
Our budget:
"Cuts government spending to protect hardworking taxpayers".
Except for the military.
Teabaggers love the military industrial complex.
"Tackles the drivers of our debt, so our troops dont pay the price for Washingtons failure to take action".
B.S.(See above)
"Restores economic freedom and ensures a level playing field for all by putting an end to special-interest favoritism and corporate welfare".
B.S.(See below)
"Reverses the Presidents policies that drive up gas prices, and instead promotes an all-of the-above strategy for unlocking American energy production to help lower costs, create jobs, and reduce dependence on foreign oil".
Teabaggers want to drill more, so we can export more.
"Strengthens health and retirement security by taking power away from government bureaucrats and empowering patients instead with control over their own care".
Teabaggers want to leave it as it is, empowering insurance companies and for profit hospitals.
"Reforms our broken tax code to spur job creation and economic opportunity by lowering rates, closing loopholes, and putting hardworking taxpayers ahead of special interests".
Just like Reagan, "trickle down" poverty.
That's not a "budget" it's teabagger talking points.
A path to America's demise.
Poor teabagger.

A baggEE becomes a baggER when they develop higher intelligence, leave the liberals, and join the Republican party.
You should try it.
#23 Sep 15, 2013
Of course.
Higher "intelligence".
"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed." --Sarah Palin, botching the history of Paul Revere's midnight ride, June 3, 2011
"Paul Revere did warn the British. And in a shout-out, gotcha-type of question that was asked of me, I answered candidly. And I know my American history." --Sarah Palin, defending her botched Paul Revere history lesson by taking issue with the reporter, who simply asked her "What have you seen so far today, and what are you going to take away from your visit?" (Fox News Sunday interview, June 5, 2011)
"This is Reagan country . Yeah! And perhaps it was destiny that the man who went to California's Eureka College would become so woven within and inter-linked to the Golden State." --Sarah Palin, blundering on Reagan's education while speaking at a fundraiser at California State University-Stanislaus. Eureka College is in Illinois.(June 25, 2010)
Go back to what our founders and our founding documents meant -- they're quite clear -- that we would create law based on the God of the bible and the Ten Commandments." -Sarah Palin, arguing that Judeo-Christian belief was the basis for American law and should continue to be used as a guiding force for creating future legislation, interview with Bill O'Reilly, May 6, 2010
As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?" --Sarah Palin, interview with CNBC's "Kudlow & Co", July 2008
"They're in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom." --Sarah Palin, getting the vice president's constitutional role wrong after being asked by a third grader what the vice president does, interview with NBC affiliate KUSA in Colorado, Oct. 21, 2008
"I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.
Palin said there is a difference between the White House and what she has experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House the "department of law" would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.
And she is the "smart" one.
Poor teabagger.

The "Drug O'Neill" name irks him but he can still joke about it.
"That's why I kick my mom for not naming me Gene, so I could be 'clean
Gene," he tells Keteyian. He says most respect him and have
acknowledged his success, though the few that question him still hurt.
"Through the whole Triple Crown campaign…For every 10 pats on the back, I
probably got two kicks in the nuts."
O'Neill denies to Keteyian that he has ever given his horses
performance enhancing drugs. Though, like many trainers, his record
contains some flags, none of them point to deliberate cheating says Andrew Beyer, racing writer for the Washington Post.
"I know what cheating looks like…I'm the world's most suspicious
guy…you know, I saw no evidence anywhere that in recent years, Doug
O'Neill had done anything that produced results that you would say that
this has to be illicit," says Beyer.
Stories questioning O'Neill and drugs began in earnest a few weeks
before the Belmont Stakes last year. Then, when his horse, "I'll Have
Another," was retired right before the race due to a hole in a tendon
revealed by a vet's scan, the charges hit a high. Some wondered if he
scratched the horse out of fear he would test positive for drugs, a sin
so large at the brink of the highest achievement in racing that it would
mar him for life.
Some believe O'Neill, who comes from the city and a blue-collar
background, has been stigmatized by this lack of pedigree in a
blue-blood sport. Says racing historian, "The minute somebody is really
successful in the business, he's going to become a target," he tells
William Nack Keteyian, saying jealousy could be one cause. But
another can lurk below the surface, too. "There's a kind of caste system
in racing…Doug is down there in the lower caste…But he's a slumdog
millionaire," says Nack.
