I'd love to hear someone type that the trainer didn't know...

Je n'ai pas fait t. Ce n'était pas me. Il y a quelque erreur. Je suis innocent. Je m'ai été établi par mes ennemis. Le vétérinaire est criminel.

Default well, he did agree to it...

i like how in racing we hand out a year ban , and then allow the guy to agree to a softer ban.
Maybe next week we will hear that he has agreed to an even SOFTER ban?

By the time the Breeders Cup is run we will find that he has agreed to be allowed full control and profits of his racing operation,
- with the only stipulation being that he sun on a beach while training via cellphone.

Just please don't start talking in French to your jockeys in the paddock, so others won't know the game plan ....

I think how these cases progress, once outside the governing bodies authority and how they take on a life of their own -- and the potential litigation, is without question a factor.

Maybe the negative polygraph test about having knowledge of the venom being there (if true, was in the news) could have influenced willingess to make the suspension 6 months.

What is the deal about, "license suspended for 6 months", and then "can't renew for 6 months after that" ? Somebody explain? Licenses are not annual, are they? Doesn't that action depend upon and require reciprocity from other racing jurisdictions for not licensing him? How can KHRA enforce that?
