altho some think once a cheat, always a cheat (some say that with spouses for example) that's actually not true.
was this catch enough to put someone firmly on the straight and narrow? a lesson learned perhaps?

You could give the guy a pass if his assistant did it while he was away and if he FIRED the assistant. If he didn't fire the assistant right away the liklihood is he was well aware of what was going on and he is part of the problem. Sorry but in the sport of horse racing, once a cheater always a cheater. Overrages are one thing, milkshaking though is a blatant effort at cheating.

You seem to want to be forgiving but do you want to reimburse the people that lose money to horses that won due to cheating.

Remember, usually when someone gets caught cheating there are numerous other times when they were cheating and didn't get caught.
