When you have priors:
1. You are more likely to be guilty. This is underappreciated, but ALL of those priors involved lying. It's not like when Baffert does cheat, he says "you got me, I was cheating". So the KHRC has every right to say "we don't believe you" to him.
2. There is a significant interest in punishing him harsher. Because it means that earlier discipline did not deter him.
The other thing is this is the Derby. He gave the sport a black eye on it's biggest day.
He has to be harshly punished.

So rubbing some cream on a horses ass should be a long suspension and a DQ? Maybe next year a trainer can sneak into the barns and rub that on the other 19 horses and he will win the Derby by default just for crossing the finish line as they all get disqualified.
