A Saratoga Crime

Agreed, but how do you punish him when he puts his suspensions on hold for months or years? Seems to me he is just waiting for a trip back to Venezuela. Take the days, see the family and friends back home, and come back like nothing ever happend. What a punishment...

I dont think that giving jockeys days does a damn thing regardless of when he takes them. It just hurts the people who ride the guy on a regular basis, takes money out of his agents and valets pockets and gives the guy a vacation. What they should do is have a sliding scale of fines with the amount getting bigger and bigger everytime he commits another offense. You want to get guys attention? Take money directly out of their pockets.

That would be fine by me. I would be for it. I think we finally came to an agreement.
