It's a total cop out that these guys say "I was on vacation...I wasnt there". They are responsible for the guys who work under them. If not they could drug the hell outta horses and play the dumb/I didnt know card if they got caught all the time.

The argument that Sciacca and Barone have had was that the horse in question was not the horse that they were cited for working on. Gary never argued that the situation wasn't his responsibility.
