Forte Hopeful med overage reporting

A moronic nonevent "pico scandal" that does absolutely nothing to deal with a genuine problem, Repo Rocks is the problem. Pletch's attorney will have a field day with this crap, which is the problem in part. I could "Rollo" this drivel; I am not a lawyer. Telling "A" true story is not telling "The" true story. IMO, this is all about trying to gin up support for HISA, especially when I see hacks like Ellis Starr employed to ferry the message.

I don’t know Freddy. What is she going to have a field day with? Everything that comes out makes them look worse and it goes against the comments she’s made.

All of this to avoid saying, “We messed up, the buck stops with me and we will be better going forward.”

What is the end game here? The damage has been done. Can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.

Banned for 10 days and presumably can run horses in his assistant's name. What a punishment!

Two jockeys in HK just got banned for 10 & 12 months for playing a part in having a bet in one race. They don't play there when it comes to integrity.

What is a fair punishment in your opinion for a small bute overage?

Firing line or guillotine?

Racing should outsource the punishment determination to an entity in Hong Kong.

Even better!

Over your heads, the both of you. The point is what kind of deterrent is it when (i) all he gets is 10 days for the one time he's caught, and (ii) the horses can still run. It's a slap on the wrist to him and a slap in the face of horseplayers.
