What does NYRA admin say about this issue off the record when you ask guys like Dr Hill and Mr Baeza, if they are the guys still in charge of the stews?

Not sure when/where/why this non-action commenced.. It may fall into the same bailiwick of moderate or general inaction against positive violations, which is based in no small part on concern over legal wrangling that can result. State budgets are limited and it seems that few jurisdictions have the wherewithal these days to follow through on the drawn out appeal process of our current legal climate.
Since state run agencies like Racing Boards are invariably connected to state governments, it isn't totally surprising that there is a concerted effort to avoid things things like legal tie-ups. And just as with efforts to curb trainer/vet envelope-pushing, failure to adequately discipline careless or lazy jocks is a disservice to the game's safety and integrity.
