I am trying to find any written rules on what a trainer can and cannot do during suspension... anyone see anything.. I just read all of DE rules and nothing was there...

I have never heard of these rules... Scott Lakes signs have been up since day one at Gulfstream!
Putting a call into a friend in Ny on the board... will let you know

They all do, and will. Seems foolish to me. And yes, the owners still have to pay their bills, so they will get a bill.

Dutow just doesn't know how to run the business behind close doors, he needs more practice.:D

Agreed. I was at the track with some owners yesterday and were talking about this very topic. They thought that the suspensions are a joke. Dutrow doesn't seem to be too smart in covert operations. He could take a lesson from "24 " LOL. Why not use your girlfriends phone or better yet, buy one of those cells that you buy minutes for in Walmart where you can toss it or give to someone else. Seems pretty dumb to openly flaunt the rules of your suspension. You can be assured TP wasn't doing it at PAlm Beach Downs. :rolleyes:

but did you stay at a holiday inn express last night?? lol thanks for answering, just bouncing ideas...

As I said a few months ago, when I got suspended in 2001 all the ruling said was that I was denied the privliges of the grounds, nothing more or less. Nothing else was written, said or implied.
