Absolutely two different issues. I’m in no way comparing them. But what’s worth mentioning, and I know you fully understand this, is that the general public that’s tuned in for the Derby will more than likely be unable or even unwilling to see the difference. Hell, as you posted, look at how Paulick reported.
I see both sides. I believe in due process and innocence until proven guilty and all that but at the same time, as was pointed out by others, there are times when suspensions are made pending the results of an investigation.
If this hadn’t been Derby week, I wonder if it would have been handled the same way or with the same swiftness but I find it hard to believe that the extra attention on Churchill this week didn’t play a part in this.
