Interesting they chose May 3rd, one day after the derby. What a way to send a msg to Jeff.

How's that different from baseball appeals, for example?

Speculating it certainly looks like a deal was worked out, I could see why on the day of the derby being on national TV, we have the probable favorite's trainer suspended for a syringe violation. Not good PR you think for a sport trying to portray a clean image. Damned if you do, damned if you don't sydrome. Don't even talk to me about Baseball...

hell yeah they made a deal. he agreed not to appeal, they cut the time down from 15 to seven days. that way, neither derby or preakness are affected.

bah! yeah, racing wants to clean itself up. it's pretty obvious, isn't it?

oh...wow! a whole week. hey, that way, if i want revenge does win the derby, mullins won't have to worry about making any interviews after the race-he'll have a week to fit them all in. post derby, pre-preakness. ain't life grand. that'll teach him to break the rules.

and this from the article:

and the board “considering the circumstances" ...

lol what a joke. and we wonder why trainers push the limits. it's sooooo detrimental when they do and get caught.

Seems to me that they decided it wasn't that big of a deal after all.

Dannie would you want to suspend 2Hot4TV for giving himself a breath mint on post day? I think not.

if he gave it to himself in the detention barn, where nothing is to be given, then yes. i suppose some think rules are just made to be broken. but then, i thought you should be gone after that disgusting pic the other day, yet here you are.

Ok forum mom.

He was punished appropriately for the crime just like I was. Thank fake god we don't have people like you enforcing rules.

Stunning huh? They're sooooo much tougher on crook trainers in NY. They catch this guy dead solid perfect, and this is the punishment? What a message. Don't cheat in NY. You might have to give up a couple grand, and go spend some quality time with your kids. Be interesting to see people get back in their box now. They're already on record about this, but now officials in their own state look pathetic. It's getting pretty bad when Louisiana goes tougher on trainers than New York or Cali. This is sick. This guy has no reason to change his ways.
