Nathan Exelby�s piece of piffle and nonsense in the Courier Mail this morning about Dick Van Dyke being a declared a drug cheat and his horse being disqualified from one of the biggest races on the Queensland thoroughbred calendar tells you everything you need to know about his credentials as a racing writer, and explains why 40-50 thousand people a week read this website.

What a pea-hearted piece of arse kissing nonsense Exelby�s tripe is.

David Van Dyke � Dick � has just been found guilty of pulling a million dollar plus swindle on punters and rival owners and trainers by running Alligator Blood in the Magic Millions Guineas with the prohibited � banned � substance Altrenogest in its system.

There is no good reason in the world for a trainer to use Altrenogest (Regumate) on a gelding, other than as an anabolic steroid administered to improve the horse�s performance.

If Ben Currie had trained a horse that had thrown a positive to the unlawful roids, then Nathan Exelby would have been standing on the rooftop pointing, shouting and screaming and calling him a cheat.

But because its Dick Van Dyke who is cheating, Exelby lets the whole disgraceful doping run through to the keeper, and instead of condemning the man who the whole world knows was once whacking his horses with elephant juice, whacking himself with Harry the Horse, and sticking synthetic steroids into his Group 1 winner Yankee Rose, Exelby instead writes an exculpatory piece painting Dick as the victim.

He�s no victim.

Dick Van Dyke is a cheat, and has been for thirty years.

Leopards don�t change their spots, and he hasn�t.

What sort of state is Queensland racing integrity in when Editor of the fast fading monopoly rag spends his time sticking up for dope cheats, and going to bat for juice men who rob their colleagues and their sport?

You are a disgrace Nathan Exelby, and so are you Mr Van Dyke.

A pox on both your stinking houses.

Our sport would be better off without you both.

It was a wonderful experience winning the Magic Millions and although the result has changed, it certainly doesn�t erase that experience.

Are you kidding Dick?

Of course it bloody erases the experience.

You have been disqualified for cheating.

You lied, and you cheated.

Cheated just like you did with your �Queensland Horse of the Year� Yankee Rose, which never actually raced in Queensland once in her whole life.

Cheated just like you did when you won the Kembla Grange trainers premiership with horses that were doped to the eyeballs with elephant juice.

You can do the power of positive thinking thing all that you like mate.

We all know you are a repeat cheat and a multiple offender.

You should be scrubbed out of the game.

Vandyke said the drawn out process had been a test of his resolve and allowed him to reset and focus on what is most important.

What is important to you Dick?

Not doping your horses perhaps?

Doubt that.

Earning dough, that�s what�s important to you, and doing by hook or by crook or by any way that you possibly can.

It�s nice that it�s all out there now and I can just move on

Only because the QRIC are piss weak and let you.

You should move on alright.

Right out of racing.

Alligator Blood was all-consuming up until late February, March this year. �Since that point in time and off the back of the positive, I�ve had to reset myself, just let go of the Alligator Blood story for a while reset myself, which I think has been valuable for me as a person.

Valuable for you as a person?

What, being caught doping for the umpteenth time?

You are joking aren�t you?

No you�re not, you are just a full-on bullgelati artist.

He�s been doing it all day ref, and for 30 years.

Send him off.

It has allowed me to concentrate on my other horses, my relationships, my fitness, my mental health. All those things have been important areas of focus since the news of the positive came out.

It�s all about you isn�t it Dick?

Don�t worry about the honest trainers and owners son.

Just get out the violin and play Woe is Me.

Piss off.

It was there lingering in the background. I knew I was headed to an inquiry at some point. I didn�t know until (Thursday) what the result of that inquiry was going to be

Yeah, you got off light didn�t you mate.

Real light.

Gee you are lucky there is no three strikes law in racing.

If there was, we�d never have to hear your self-serving, poor me crap ever again.
