How's that different from baseball appeals, for example?

Speculating it certainly looks like a deal was worked out, I could see why on the day of the derby being on national TV, we have the probable favorite's trainer suspended for a syringe violation. Not good PR you think for a sport trying to portray a clean image. Damned if you do, damned if you don't sydrome. Don't even talk to me about Baseball...

hell yeah they made a deal. he agreed not to appeal, they cut the time down from 15 to seven days. that way, neither derby or preakness are affected.


bah! yeah, racing wants to clean itself up. it's pretty obvious, isn't it?
