Biancone agrees to a softer ban

[Danzig]

owners in other sports are held accountable, so why not in horse racing? how many times has mark cuban paid a fine now? why should horse racing be different?

if the racing bodies gave real punishment, and i think the biancone one year suspension is a step in the right direction, than that would help to achieve a cleaner sport. there should be a limit however to how many times a trainer can get in trouble before he is banned for good. lifetime bans exist in other sports, horse racing needs to do the same thing. it's for the good of the industry--the sport won't suffer if certain trainers are gone, but it will certainly suffer if they remain, and the cheating continues.
