Surely you understand why the jail rule would be good for horses and bettors? First, horses won't be bought for $15 or $20k and run back for $10k to steal a purse, whether they are healthy or not...and really, how many of them are? Second, when that is done, the races are often unbettable. It used to be you could bet against these kind, but not so much any longer. Trainers aren't trying to cash bets any more, they are just trying to suck up slots tokens.
Trying to cater to small time owners is helping to make things worse, not better, because guys like Jacobsen and the Eclipse award winning owner Gill just take advantage of it.
