If the real world was like the racing world
Judge: Will the defendant please rise?
(Defendant stands)
Judge: For the crime of murder, I sentence you to 50 years in prison.
Defendant: No deal. I didn't know the gun was loaded.
Judge: Ok fine. I'll lower it to 25 years, but you can't go into any more liquor stores after dark with a gun for 25 years after your release. Will that work for you?
Defendant: Yes. I accept your offer.
Judge: Thanks for working with me. Sorry to drag you through this.
(I admit I have little knowledge of the behind-the-scenes workings of the Kentucky Horse Racing Authority.)
