The bigger issue is how it looks to Joe Blow. Joe Blow, rightly or wrongly, is angry at how Howmuchyouloveme was allowed to race yesterday. Joe Blow wasn't angry when Greg Kelly was scratched. Joe Blows emotions might not be backed up by the law process, but to the image of racing and harness racing Joe Blows emotions are pretty bloody important.
I'm happy with how this rubs off on harness racing.
