$500 a day for 30 days adds up to 15 grand. Did the guys who were in the detention barn at Santa Anita earlier this year have to pay for the detention barn? I would think that this a tough monetary penalty -- Mitchell may prefer to use the detention barn if it is cheaper.
As for Classhandicapper's comment, there are certainly drugs and/or procedures that are not administered on raceday (Epogen (or is it EPO) comes automatically to mind). I think that TGJB mentioned that the detention barn concept is something but does not go all the way.
