I would think that NYRA has a chance to send a message to the colony that crap like this won't be tolerated. Giving the leading jock at a premier meet 10-15 days, should raise some eyebrows in the room. 7 days seems like a slap on the wrist for the severity of the foul (You could see on the head on that he tugged on the left rein and shut the door). If he doesn't appeal, the 3 days would be a travesty.
If you can listen to the Migs view of this on ATR..his view seems the most reasonable of Joel's actions. It doesn't seem to be a pattern with Joel - 3 days for him while in the Saratoga leading riders hunt is huge.
