@DRFGrening That’s a silly question. Because the suspension is affecting the jockey’s future ability to earn a living

@DRFGrening Because that would defame the regions racing.

@DRFGrening i would say order of finish and purse payouts affected, but the same is true from positive drug testing and that can be appealed and purse funds held.

@DRFGrening Don't know this, but think where we're heading is a federal court deciding whether the reg in KAR forbidding appeal of the DQ is unconstitutional. If the reg is declared unconstitutional, the door is opened for an appeal to progress.

@DRFGrening Total political afterthought to cover themselves. What a disappointment

@DRFGrening come on.. the Stewards are perfect, infallible ..owners can't question the rulings..

@DRFGrening Why are thinking logically? Since when does that have a place in horse racing?

@DRFGrening its complicated

@DRFGrening I won't race in Kentucky.

@DRFGrening Total double standard. ! Ridiculous

@DRFGrening when we walk through the gates the sign says " once your here its our rules" in the 80's when I heard jockeys appealing days or California tracks letting jocks ride stake races during suspensions that really seemed wrong.

@DRFGrening really, why did they ever even allow the first riding appeal ? Take the days. Its like a bad cop back out on the beat to me

@DRFGrening Here it is. It isn’t valid but ... US Constitution prevents the taking of life,liberty or property by govt without due process. Earning a living is clearly covered so appeal allowed;KY has taken position a placing in a race is not property rights (wrong) so no right to appeal

@DRFGrening An NHL player can appeal a suspension, but they aren’t going to go back and change the score if it was a bad penalty call

@DRFGrening I wouldn’t race at Churchill either, tho that’s because of CDI management, not the rules. As others have pointed out, non-appeal of DQs raises constitutional questons

@DRFGrening Because the commissions are run like the mafia. They answer to no one and hold supreme power.

@DRFGrening Laws are different in every state no matter what it is.

@DRFGrening Pari mutuel funds have already been dispersed after official results. To even contemplate a reversal via apoeal would cause chaos.
