Default Trainers and drugs

With Pletchers appeal recently ruled against,he will most likely be joining Mr.Lake,Asmussen,and Norman on Drug vacation.Imagine that,the top thoroughbred trainers in the country,except Frankel,all on suspension for drugs.Great message they are sending out.I agree with the article I read recently that stated that tracks should refund all money to people who wagered on a race with drug positives in it.Maybe then the sport would finally clean up its act,and the breed would regain soundness and stamina in the animals.What do you all think?

In addition to that, those trainers should have to pay percentages of winning money lost by owners, trainers, grooms, jockeys and exercise riders of the horses that were beat by guys that cheated.

And another thing , those people who cashed on said juiced up horses should have to give back their winnings too , because maybe if the trainers hadnt cheated then they wouldnt have cashed tickets. Is only fair.

Now that wouldn't be fair. Those people didn't do anything wrong. Unless you're talking about tickets cashed by the offending trainers or their associates, people with knowledge of the juicing.
