Why doesn't Florida go after both the owners and vets involved and let them settle with Vitali in Civil Court?
Unless he is the horse's owner, he is acting as an agent of the owner. I'm guessing these medication violations may have resulted in his horse winning or beating another owner's horse for purse monies.
In general, the penalties should be in line with the amount of WPS bets made on the horses involved. The penalties should then be applied to a takeout reduction fund since the losing bettors and other owners won't get any of it.
Everybody wins. Purses won't have to be lowered and the bettors will get better odds. And, individuals who want to cheat will have to pay for it.
