The jocks arent suspended they are barred which is diffirent , this is not a stewards or racing commissions ruling , this is the owner's of racetracks deciding they dont want to let them in and they dont have to.

Wasn't Delaware where they made the bogus Pick 6 bets in the Breeder's Cup. The year it was at Arlington Park and Volponi won at like 32-1

I could be wrong

I think it is wrong for them to ban jockey without proof
I don't think Rene Douglas even raced at Great Lake Downs

The bets were made at an upstate NY OTB.....over the phone and then altered by someone who worked there.

Once again, these people were banned from private property by the owners of the racetracks.
