I read a suggestion somewhere that perhaps, they should do something progressive. First time, the jockey is penalized and the owner given a warning. Second time, owner can lose 25% of the purse. Next time, 50%. I still don’t think that’s great but better than what’s happening now. This way, the owner is penalized only if they continue to use a guy that habitually crosses “the line.”
