As a former owner on the NY Circuit I can only speak for the the many owners who are NOT at the barn every morning at 5-6am.It's simply not possible to POLICE your trainers total activity.
Penalizing the owner and the horse is not a viable solution unless it is proven that the owner had a role in juicing the horse.Trainer suspensions on deliberate drugging, tied by a betting coup, should be much more severe and should be a criminal act since the alteration of the result of a sporting event( a race) is a Federal Crime.
