In almost every other area of life, the person's past history forms part of the context for current punishment. For example, a doctor with multiple incidents of malpractice is more likely to get his license revoked by the Department of Health for incompetence than a doctor with an otherwise "clean" record. How is this any different?

You get a speeding ticket you pay your fine and your license gets points affixed to it. As long as you dont go above a prescribed fig you keep you priviledge to drive. Is there points system in racing? If there was you would have a case otherwise it becomes a subjective circus with lots of room for capricious claims. Getting back to the example above if get 1 speeding ticket for 84mph in a 55 every 15 months you never have more then X pts on your record because every clean year you lose 2 pts.

What are you going to do with Assumssen and Pletcher when they get popped again?

I'd want them to do the same thing. But I think we know that's not going to happen. Dutrow's big problem is his mouth. That makes him an easy target.

I don't know what his problem is..There is no denying he has been a cheat and most likely will cheat again. The answer is not getting rid of him its getting a penial system established that all could reside within.

Not only win again, but the stick wasn't needed. That field wasn't very good though and that filly loves to win.
