First, this has nothing to do with who these people are. I personally think that both are very good people, and hold them both in high regard. And Grits, this has nothing to do with weather it is a woman or a man doing this, I would be posting the exact same comments.
From the New York Rules and regulations:
"(c) Horses suspended. All horses in the charge of a trainer whose license has been revoked or has been suspended, whether temporarily for investigation or otherwise, shall be automatically suspended from racing during the period of the trainer's exclusion or suspension."
This part is very clear, and the intention of the rule is to prevent what has just happened and to punish the trainer.
"Permission may be given by the stewards for the transfer of such horses
to another trainer during such period, and upon such approval such horses shall again be eligible to race."
And this is the part that puts a hole in the rule you can drive a truck through.
When the rules are written this way, it becomes a farce. Why suspend the trainer in the first place?
