ACK!!! $20k?!? Especially considering the following:
Mr Kaplan’s contribution to the industry through various volunteer roles;
Mr Kaplan’s record as a considerable owner and breeder within the harness industry;
Mr Kaplan’s remorse for the conduct;
The nature of the offence, including the effect such conduct has upon the industry.
Stewards ordered the following penalty upon Mr Kaplan for his breach under Rule 240:
A fine of $20,000 to be rendered within 21 days
If he WASN'T a considerable owner and breeder, and didn't contribute to the industry, what would the fine have been?
