One, the ability or whatever you want to call it, to appeal, defer, and ultimately take the days when you want or it's convenient-----simply needs to be eliminated. Due process can be attained without abuse. Two, regarding the bearding, it's simply a question of enforcement. When Rick Dutrow was serving one of his numerous suspensions (before his eventual 10-year suspension), he got caught. How? Because NYRA did the work and enforced the suspension. They checked phone records and bank accounts. End result, he got caught.
Three, I think it's deplorable that YR, NY's governing body, and everyone else involved, allows this to happen. They are the cause, and are perpetuating this. I don't want to hear the BS he fills races, has too many horses, too big to fail, and so on. It's all BS. Throw him out, keep him out (beard) and watch what happens!
