Not strange at all. As a matter of fact it makes sense. We have had the same situation numerous times here in NJ, and in many other states as well. NYRA cannot deny him the right to enter horses, or deny him his livelihood. However, they can deny him stalls. The former is his right. The latter is NYRA's right.
The trainer hasn't lost his license, he's still allowed to participate, etc. Of course only the NYSR&WB can revoke, suspend, etc. a license.
