Max a year suspension. Remember it took two to tango, and if other trainers were wetting their beaks as well, which I think is likely the playing field wasn't as slanted as if it was just her. This is white-collar cheating and should be dealt with with a stern hand. You want her to "sling hash" the rest of her life because she bought employee X 1000 amazon gift cards when the max employee X was allowed to receive was 50 bucks. I don't know she made some awful choices, but she wasn't hopping horses up. She cared for the athletes well. I am assuming she paid her help reasonably well, nor was she defrauding owners. Give her 6-12 months in the penalty box set an example to her and the staff, and IMO that is a healthy compromise. Not everybody has H Graham's accent, Atras's alchemy. Rice has been a reasonably good look for the sport. I would not be thrilled to see her slinging hash vs training horses.
