Different scenario because that was a NYRA rule as opposed to a medication/state rule. Mullins had no leverage but NYRA seemingly let him off the hook because they simply dont have the authority that a racing commission has. In this Dutrow case, the truth is that the state cut the deal to save face, not Dutrow. If it went to a court case, it would have been an embarrasment to the state of KY when the conduct of its board was shown to be in violation of the law. I am not saying that Dutrow is not guilty or doesnt deserve the time but pointing out the ineptitude of the KHRA's board in dealing with the issue.
