Re: Horse Racing
Crisford 'betrayed' by Al Zarooni.

Quote:
Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford "deeply regrets" the part he played in hiring Mahmood Al Zarooni.
Crisford recommended Al Zarooni to Sheikh Mohammed and believes he showed a "remarkable lack of judgement" after the trainer, who won the St Leger with Encke last year, was banned for eight years for administering anabolic steroids to 15 of his horses.
Two of Al Zarooni's horses failed tests for painkillers last April, after which Crisford stressed to him the importance of keeping his medical records up to date.
"I think we have to be very clear about this situation. A trainer is a licensed individual and it is his duty to take professional care of the horses in his stable," Crisford told Channel 4 Racing.
