Whether or not this is true, this is my point, if trainers knew they faced an additional year suspension for such a rules viloation they would certainly think more than twice about doing it. To effectively slap a person on the wrist for getting caught doing exactly what most of us believe they do sends the absolute wrong message.....yet again.

Just because Dutrow isn't smart enough to know how to communcate with his barn, you think others would be so stupid?

Maybe just toss out the Hammer on the 1st offense, that's the problem. They have way to many way's around this stuff. Richard will pay for his ignorance, others will learn from it.

Just like when he sent out that NY Bred Saturday against open company, and got the Locals to bet him down to 3/2. Got his behind handed to him

The $25k fine was for violating the terms of his suspension. The $3k to $5k fines levied against Pletcher and Assmusen were for the actual positives themselves.

I don't think $25k is that common of a fine.
