Actually, the first year they started penalizing trainers for excessive levels of bicarbonate out in CA, in one instance 24 hr security was placed at the trainer's regular barn as opposed to making him run out of a designated detention. This was at Del Mar and the trainer was Mike Mitchell. It might have been his 2nd offense at the time. I don't recall the circumstances exactly, but for whatever reason this is what was done.
I don't see why HP wouldn't do the same to appease everyone, because as it stands, on the surface, its absolutely ridiculous.
