Despite the shady record, NYSRWB punishment is fair. 1st time offense in the D-Barn. Think about it. It is justice. We all know Mullins' past but, that does not come into account in this case. Many criminal cases are handled the same way.

The fake outrage is hilarious.
The offence is about equal to you leaving work 15 minutes early on a friday, getting caught, and getting docked a weeks pay. The only difference is you don't have a bunch of judgemental a.ssholes whining about the punishment handed down...and if you did they would be fellow employees and you need to find another job because that place sucks. |

The detention barns are the outrage.
Imagine being a trainer that gives a **** about knowing the rules and following them. Putting your horse through that detenetion barn nonsense (for show apparently). when if you break those rules you get a week off. If the barns are supposed to improve public perception, just forget about it... Its a dirty game. Adjust your handicapping and wait for it to die... |

All of Mullins horses should be banned from racing that whole 7 days. Owners that give thier horses to mullins should be affected too. Then the owners will think twice before giving thier horses in Mullins "care".

This is a minor infraction. The detention barn was a joke from the get-go and things aren't going to change because you can't fight the lawyers. |

I am not sure what the hell giving the horse Scope before the race will do, but that's not the point. The point is he was in the detention barn giving the horse something. Thats is a major crime. I think you are missing the point here. |

The infraction was not minor...he had the audacity to give something (it doesn't matter WHAT it was...minty fresh or not) to a horse in a detention barn when the purpose of that detention barn is to keep horses from getting ANYTHING prior to a race. Yes...the detention barn is a joke, and him saying he didn't know was a joke....he knew...and didn't give a ****...and rightfully so, as he received practically NO punishment at all.

What is this an episode of Matlock? He did wrong. He was caught. The horse was scratched. The owners were out some money. He was suspended for a week which is serious money. What more do you want? It's not like he was caught giving the horse a pair of wings. It was the equivalent of vicks vaporub. BFD. And yes there probably was thought of the Preakness going into the handing down of the suspension. What if I Want Revenge wins the derby and his trainer is suspended for the Preakness? I don't know about you but that sounds like a scenario out of Tard Marketing 101. Of course they're going to try everything in their power to downplay this offence and not make a national storyline out of it. It's bad enough we're going to have to endure hours of Eight Belles sob stories on derby day...but now you want this nonsense added to the equation? |

No rule is effective if the punishment for breaking the rules does not sting. Its a cost benefit decision. And this clearly sends the message that the detention barn is NOW a joke. There may be many worse problems that need addressing. This WAS a step to prevent prerace messing around. NOW the detention barn really is a joke. Much more so than it might have been before. Comparing this to leaving work early or going 5 mph over the speed limit is ridiculous. If people were leaving work early to take items out of other workers cars... Leaving work so there wont be a traffic jam is another story. |

This is exactly what he wants everyone to think. They checked him before he went in, and did nothing, so the administration was legal. This is what he would have you believe and its bull. He knows damn well what he did was illegal. He says he did not. That is a lie. It may however be true that another trainer or person associated with a horse has done the same thing and got the same punishment. Maybe someone knows if this rule has been violated and this is the first offense punishment. If this is true, then the punishment is merely following precedence. Which one really cannot argue. |

Totally irresponsible for a trainer not to know the rules of the track and he's responsible for his actions. Secondly judging from his past Mullins only had "Airpower" with him at that time but what's not to think he was testing the detention system with something legal the first time? He might have been ready to use something more powerful had he seen the security was lax the first time.
