CORRECTION: PAULICK REPORT EATS CROW ON A.P. INDY
While striving to be the independent and timely voice for the Thoroughbred industry, the Paulick Report reserves the right to eat crow on occasion when we publish incorrect information. The story published under the headline THOROUGHBRED TIMES RIPOFF suggested incorrectly, based on third-party information, that the fertility of the Lane’s End stallion A.P. Indy was poor during the 2008 breeding season.
According to statistics provided by Will Farish of Lane’s End, A.P. Indy has covered 113 mares and has 80 of those mares in foal. The Paulick Report regrets the error.

Now, that’s the way to handle a mistake. Bravo!
Now, let’s avoid more “crow” banquets - immediately stop relying on the following source:
“According to the Association of Racing Commissioners International database, [Steve] Asmussen has a total of 74 rulings involving him, including a number of medication violations, dating back to 1990.”
As seen with the ARCI figures involving Rich Dutrow, this organization employs illiterate incompetents who issue discipline and suspension reports that contain ridiculous multiple redundancies.
(I’m no fan of Rich Dutrow; I’ve publicly called for an immediate revocation of his training license for grossly slandering other trainers.) .
What’s more, I’ve never seen any report with their name in it that actually lists the authors of the report or the executive who will publicly stand behind the report. It’s always “ARCI” this and “ARCI” that - as if the public has no interest in who actually is responsible for reporting what they consider factual information - i.e., listing a trainer as having been fined twice - with two identical fines - on a given date.
Media reporters/editors who blindly rely on ARCI-provided information are courting inevitable embarrassment and the risk of destroying their own reputations for accuracy.
On another front, Ray, you’re gotten off to a splendid start. The Report’s content is solid. What’s more, you seem to be one of the few people out there who understand that legibility is indispensible. Your graphics are first-rate. I proudly count myself as one of many who have mailed in a contribution to keep your Report rolling.
