I don't think that really has anything to do with the investigation into what happened to her.

I'm sure all the bettors who lost money on her, feel so much better now.

Yeah, the jockey who is with the horse for a total of maybe 30 minutes before a race should clearly be the one to blame. Not the trainer or his/her assistants who spend most of the time with the animal. A complete hypocrisy.

I'm not sure what you are getting at.
Is it that they are giving JV a slap on the wrist while closing the investigation against him so he is free and clear to ride in the derby?
