So much for culpability and responsibilty .

Thus if the horse breaks down with your money on its back--everyone gets hurt, and the bureaucratic press machine will call it one those unfortunate things that happen in racing--part of the game .

Jerry Bailey was the first to notice that something wasn't right with LaT and he went straight to Johnny V. with the question. Is Mr. Paulick suggesting that jockeys not say anything to anyone or that they not say anything on live tv?

I find the latest decision by Veitch/KHRC to be much more disconcerting.
