I said a while back I know there are a lot more important things to worry about. The stuff you mention is certainly up there. But that would probably inconvenience somebody, or the vet might only speak Mandarin and accidentally confuse "gelded" for "displaced palate", and we can't have that.

Do bettors really care if a jockey gets fined or suspended?

Why does that matter? You don't have rules to make the bettors happy. God the last person they care about in this game is the bettors.

He wants the rule to make the bettors happy. My contention is that very few people give a **** if the jock gets fined or suspended, they'd rather have cashed a ticket.

We'd rather they just follow the rules in the first place, but if not, sure, I want to see them punished. Without rules, there is chaos.

Sure, at least you know somebody is paying attention. There are many days I'm sure the stewards slept through a race.
