She was cheating. This should be a deterrent to other trainers to not do the same thing.
If we are serious about seeing the game change for the better and the bettor, these kinds of people need to have the book thrown at them.

Exactly. It's tantamount to race fixing. She has an edge knowing class, running style, preferred surface, etc. of her competition before deciding which horses to enter where. It gave her an decisive advantage moving up horses as well.
It amazed me how she always seems to hit at like 40% for the first week or so at Saratoga - mystery solved.
