A strong Horse racing body with all of the owners and horseman behind it, and operating in a strong systematic way would dwarf Biancone and anything he could muster. Rule to Rule , Dollar to Dollar and Lawyer to Lawyer. However, that is not at all the reality.
I think you are correct that a strong stand would be uncharacteristic and difficult here. There are a lot of things that racing does very poorly. It may be one of the greatest sports in the world, but the people who run it do not know a thing about business.
It is frustrating to watch.

Perhaps you are not familiar with the ruling bodies of TB racing. They are state agencies over which we have lttle control and are about as far away from a normal business as possible. And the person with the most money usually hires the best lawyers. If they had given him 45 days i could agree that it was not a harsh sentence. But losing a trainers license for a year is a step in the right direction.
