Okay, not an admirable guy but the swift penalties handed out are in remarkable contrast to what the big stables face.

I totally agree. But, the big stables account for too much handle at more prominent tracks, and of course although the tracks superficially don't support this behavior, economically they have to in order to have full fields and provide the bettors product.

The penalties are the same for everyone in Ontario. His fines are higher because this is not his first time getting caught doing the same thing. Always been a dirt bag
