Judging by Dutrow's 'they did what they had to do' shrugging comments, I'd assume this was a negotiated deal, not to be followed by any appeal.
In any even, I'm glad to see increased fines becoming more a part of the process. And if $25k isn't enough to hurt, move the fines up.

I agree. I guess ELA pointed out that the other low fines were what was attached to the specific drug positives. I don't know about you but it feels to me those are the same fines they were giving out 30 years ago.
Perhaps the new theme song for racing, developed of course by the NTRA, could be a riff on " Let's do the Time Warp ".
