After the thousands of hrs of phone taps I would expect more than the 20 odd arrests. So far it has been almost entirely trainers. There are still two more segments I’d like to see indictments in. Drivers and owners. Hope this shows the Feds are not done yet….
It is also time the usta (note small caps for a narrow minded organization) steps up and puts * beside all the track records horses set that were trained to by trainers who are now in jail….
Hopefully it's the first of many more, second wave coming?
I don't know why a track doesn't just scrap the current participants. You could replace 90% of all humans involved in this industry in weeks.I personally know a person who did not grow up with horses, had never sat behind a horse, and inside of 6 months was dominating a well known track with a small stable on the trainer side.In terms of drivers, we all know the capacity of the current pool That would be even easier to replace with a handful of kids who are willing to take a chance. Burn it all down and start over. The new blood would bring in so much new interest. Or just keep doing the same thing and die slowly, well, not so slowly.
