If there is no danger to the public, then a person can usually get out of jail while they await trial if they post bail.

In the case of trainers milkshaking, there is danger to the public. It's a different kind of danger. It's obviously not life and death. But the rationale is the same. The public needs to be protected. There are millions of dollars being wagered on these races.

Anyway, the point was that even out in the real world people are often times in jail while they await their trial.
