Amazing game. Travis Alexander gets days, stays in the barn and just puts down Michael Spaccarelli Jr as trainer. What is a Spacarelli? Jeff Gural allows this too because they are stabled at Mark Fords I guess.

i dont know the exact details of this situation or other similar ones
but i will say this has to stop
if true and i assume it is as others before it have been it is a joke
start suspending the horses as well as the trainers
to be clear that horse and trainer are ineligible to race at any track in north america for the penalty period
i am not suggesting that will stop the cheating but it will at least be more punitive
and yes owners have to take some responsibility and the pain
on a bigger scale this is also a byproduct of very few tracks having barns and stables on track
if that was the case then the horse gets suspended for a month and must leave the barn and the trainer is not allowed on the property until suspension is over

This practice has been going on forever.
