Exactly - they are not, and escalated the case to the racing commission to throw the book at them, as they feel the violations are egregious enough to warrant much steeper penalties.

For what? Bribing the clerk of scales to allow them to carry less weight? Sure didn't seem to impact their performance based on the Equibase stats -

These are 9% jocks at a low rung slot palace that clearly did not benefit personally from whatever malfeasance they are accused of being involved in. Their performance is similarly flat going back quite a ways...

Logic would dictate that there is something much more insidious to the rest of the story, considering the stewards threw the book at them, and then went to the LSRC to say what these jocks did (allegedly) deserves a much stiffer penalty that what we (the stewards) are allowed by charter to invoke.
