Don't get me wrong, I think he's a joke but why should NYRA get the blame for allowing a trainer whose never been caught doing anything under their jurisdiction to run a horse? The game is so badly fragmented when it comes to violators and violations so blaming NYRA is not exactly fair.

Nothing says that they have to take the entry, or that NYSRWB has to license him. The whole point of the "in house" Mullins hearing was supposedly to determine whether NYRA would deny him stalls, refuse entries, etc., in addition to NYSRWB penalty.

What difference does it make if he was caught violating the rules in Kentucky or New York, especially given the severity of the violation and his past history. Does anyone have the guts to say "enough is enough"? NYRA had no problem denying stalls to Michael Gill a few years ago, and if my memory is correct, he had no history in NY prior to that decision.
