No, it's the folks at the NYSRWB who are political hacks and have no idea the impact that their leniency is having on the industry that they are supposed to regulate.

Dont you think the high dollar lawyers had any influence on the hacks? I have seen that lawyers in this business usually cause uncontrollable shaking among our commissioners

It's easy to intimidate someone who has no idea what he or she is doing, and sad to say, that's the problem with most of these political appointees.

So with the little sh!t's appeal set for July 22, I guess there is no chance we hear anything from this clown until at least then, right?

Interesting. He is claiming it was an accident.

And Wolfendale is also coming to his defense:

When I heard Alan Foreman say they would "do the right thing," I had presumed that meant own up to it if he thought he did it intentionally. So yes, I was expecting otherwise.

In horse racing or with Dennis Rodman?

To 'do the right thing' would be to tell the truth, whatever it may be.

To 'do the right thing' for his career, would be what he did today.

He did what he thought gave him the best chance to resurrect his career if and when this thing blows over. Can't say I blame him.(for the letter, not the incident in question)

Really though? I think more people would appreciate it if he came out, admitted he did it on purpose, and took his medicine. I actually think that might be better for his career in the long run.

It has to be a feather in his cap that Wolfendale is publicly supporting him.

It is very easy to say this was intentional. Apparently, and I might be wrong, he did not hit her after the wire. That to me is one crucial point. If it was after the wire, it's an easy call. If it wasn't -- then there will be those who feel it was intentional and he is lying, and there will be those who feel it wasn't intentional. And so on.

I am not a jock. Maybe I am naive. My knee jerk reaction would be that a professional can control, and tell the difference between a swat at a shoulder and a swat at the face. I don't know.

Maybe the situation isn't as obvious as initially thought. Maybe it was.

Regardless, he should be punished. It's his responsibility to protect his mount's health, welfare and well being.

I want to think this through more. Whatever decision I would come to, would be after all thought and I would be definitive. I just don't know where that would be right now. I'd ask my partner, my trainer, I'd ask other jocks who I know very well, personally not just professionally. I think many of us arrive at some opinions with input, educated input, from others.

I don't know -- the kid (and I don't use that word disrespectfully) has been on horses for many years. How many times? 10,000? An accident? I don't know, I am starting to think that it's a tough "mistake" -- to make and for me to swallow. Shoulder? Face? I just don't know.
