Let the punishment fit the crime. Too often in horse racing the "punishments" are mere vacations for the violators.
As far as the idea that businesses can ignore the rules because they are a business here's a reminder. The industrial revolution and resultant exploitation of labor in western society occurred in the 19th century. I regrettably see many in business, however, pining to return to the "good old days."
If you want to return to barbaric exploitation then move to the far east or some other emerging market. They are struggling with their own version of the industrial revolution and it ain't pretty.
IMO, western society should advance toward more humane and ethical standards. Not return to our dark past. Just my 2 cents.
