As it stands now, she will appeal and it will be reduced to a lower punishment. She will be back looking for new ways to sidestep rules. As they all have done for decades.

Need to punish the owners who are the ones knowingly using trainers who push the envelope.

You punish the owners By banning all horses under offending trainer for the duration of suspension. No running under a Beard and they can't be transferred to another trainer.

That would never happen
here in the States.

Would owners ever use this trainer agin after having to endure this? Would said trainer or owner ever want to risk getting shut down for an extended period? Otherwise business as usual. seek the high percentage guys who push the envelope. When he gets caught you lose a purse. Horse runs under beard or gets transferred. Insanity.
