    SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 2020 HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL RIVAL OWNER SPEAKS OUT ON BLACKBERRY WINE SAGA WITH TOM=S D=ETAT by Bill Finley Like most owners, Joe Sutton asks only for a level playing field, which is why he is still trying to make sense of the fact that Blackberry Wine (Oxbow) will be allowed to run in Saturday=s fourth race at Oaklawn against his colt Scabbard (More Than Ready). Blackberry Wine has crossed the wire first on three occasions, but, so far as his official record goes, only one counts. He was disqualified from purse money in two of his starts after testing positive for the drug levamisole. Because of the demotions, he fits the conditions of the upcoming race, which is for horses who have never won two races. Coming off a 13-length win in a maiden race, from which he did not test positive for any illegal medications, Blackberry Wine will be among the favorites Saturday (Scabbard is the 5-2 morning-line choice). AThere are a couple of issues here,@ Sutton said. ANumber one, Tom=s d=Etat | Horsephotos why is he allowed to compete in the race? It=s supposed to be a by Chris McGrath race for 3-year-olds who have only won one time.

The mobster Owney Madden settled there in because of using drugs. I was shocked to see that he was 1935; the following year, its casinos and obliging law permitted to run in this race.@ enforcement made it an obvious place for Lucky Luciano to lie Sutton continued: AThose races should have counted against low.
