Could the stewards just said that as "the trainer of IWR has an illegal substance and delivery method" we must scratch all his horses.

I thought the same thing..

If he was caught red handed, I would imagine he may face criminal charges. It is a crime to attempt to tamper with a pari-mutual contest in New York State.

It's been threatened in many incidents and then hasn't been part of final penalty agreements.

How is it that now perps get to negotiate their penalties? And we wonder what's wrong?

After an investigation and if the facts prove true NYRA should ban Mullins for a lengthly period if not life. I suspect other states will give a look as well. This is the correct time to clean the game if it is to survive.

Greg Martin (training for IEAH ) was prosecuted for his role in the A One Rocket milkshaking. Got a fine, probation, and home confinement.

It has, but here is the thing about prosecutions. A story about a trainer at Aqueduct bringing a syringe into a detention barn does not attract much attention from a DA's Office. However, when that trainer runs what looks to be the Kentucky Derby morning line favorite a few races later, that is something that could make headlines and hence, a name for that prosecutor. This could get a lot more scrutiny than the average trainer being caught.
