I don't have his app in front of me but my wild guess is he's filled it out the same way each year he's applied and been granted a license. Especially since they are noting a felony from years past. He said he put it down each year, they never need any particulars and grant a license... However, this year it's
time to take a hardline?

Maybe he's had 300 positives. Maybe he's broken into casinos and banks, and whatever else, but if none of this is new why are they now
holding him accountable? I would think as a trainer you'd want something unifrom and very clear cut. Absolute rules, with absolute consequence
This seems pretty clear cut and uniform. He broke the rules and thy called him on it. You act as though he is the first person that this has ever happened to. He has a ton of violations and I applaud the KHRA for taking steps to make guys that dont follow the rules pay. A license is not a right but privilege.

In case you hadn't noticed things aren't exactly peachy with horse racing and taking action against serial violators is a far more effective part of cleaning up the game than banning Lasix.

licence noun UK (US license) /ˈlaɪ.sənt s/ n Definition
• [C] an official document which gives you permission to own, do or use something, usually after you have paid money and/or taken a test

If Dubb feels like busting a new hole in KY. ass they are going to bleed money, and lose a lot of respect in any court of law. Just my opinion.

Be fair:

Did they warn either publicly or privately that he was on "double secret probation"

Do they have a defined penial system?

Is there precedent for such capricious decisions?
