I've been saying this forever. This is a travesty.. If you want to straighten this out, All horses registered to the offending trainer need to be banned for the duration of the ban. They can't run under an assistant, they can not be transferred to another trainer until the ban is complete. Would be nice if tracks honor other tracks bans.... You need to hit them where it hurts the wallet... Owners too they will be the ones to put pressure on trainers to play it straight. Owner's know who plays straight and who pushes the envelop ane who is an out right cheat...
