tampa jock ban (Update)

At this time let us remember that these individuals
named thus far are "innocent until proven guilty".

If found cheating on racing contests,
these jockeys should be banned permanently from the sport.

Not allowed back into the game as Billy "Buzzer Boy" Patin was.

At least Patin was trying to win.
I disagree with a few folks on here about juice and its extent, I think the biggest problem is that stewards let blatant non tries go unnoticed and unpunished.

Took a look at the TRPB site and see that Berube, track honcho at TBD was the head of the TRPB org. for 17 years. I guess he wanted to start this area of the cleanup in his own backyard. I look forward to seeing the little ones all out in the same race.

Let's not forget by Mr. Patin "trying" to succeed with extraneous help,
he also cheated out other jockeys, owners, horsemen, Oaklawn Park
not to mention the fans nationwide in the Arkansas Derby.

It's still cheating.

Mr Smiley I wasn't condoning what he did. Its wrong and I certainly didn't mean to convey that I approved of what he did.
Its just not as enraging to me as watching one of these guys pull a stranglejob on one of these horses.

Understood.
I see no reason why Billy Patin is back riding at the Lousiana tracks.
There are other honest and hard working riders available I'm sure.

Now...
"made for TV productions" ? LOL

If there's any silver lining at all, at least the rest of the meet will be scrutinized and monitored daily. Nothing like a giant microscope to keep everything on the QT... It will be interesting to see how the M/L favs fare this weekend...
