Mullins Suspended 7 Days

The Detention Barn does practically nothing to curb cheating. Most drugs administered to these horses will never be detected. It's all smoke and mirrors from the Barney Fife crew for job security.

No rule is effective if the punishment for breaking the rules does not sting.
Its a cost benefit decision. And this clearly sends
the message that the detention barn is NOW a joke.

There may be many worse problems that need addressing.
This WAS a step to prevent prerace messing around.
NOW the detention barn really is a joke. Much more so than
it might have been before.

Comparing this to leaving work early or going 5 mph over the
speed limit is ridiculous. If people were leaving work early to take
items out of other workers cars...
Leaving work so there wont be a traffic jam is another story.

BTW, they should of had an episode where Barney gets accused of messing with kids(not exactly a stretch.) The town would want his head, and Andy would investigate(and save stickfigure's bacon.)
