i think he should take a leave of absence while the investigations proceed. i don't think he should return til they conclude.
i find it very, very sad that such a person still has a huge operation knowing what all has occurred over the years of his career. his rap sheet is pages upon pages long. other trainers toil in obscurity, and cleanly, while he (and some others) gets good horses. it's a shame, and a black mark on this sport. lots of good trainers out there without all the baggage.

do we want a clean sport or not?
I agree. Its funny how he gets suspended and or fined and his operations still get to operate under a different name till he comes back on "vacation". The owners know well and clear of his reputation and I find it even funnier how surprised Zayat was at this. A great act he put on display on Twitter. Dont tell me you own million(s) dollars worth of horses and you have no clue whats going behind barn doors.
