You need to change your priorities.
"She spent a considerable period of time before her retirement riding while she was taking powerful psychotropic drugs for clinical depression,"
The poor thing. That's a tough fight.
"something which was not disclosed to the betting public, trainers, owners, or other jockeys."
An enlightened bunch if ever there was one.
"her conduct placed the property and safety of others at risk without their knowledge,"
Does the conduct of owners and trainers ever put Julie's safety at risk? What should we do about this? How many riders and trainers have or had drug and alcohol problems? I can think of many, including four of the greatest riders who ever lived. Did these riders tell the owners and public before they sought help? If not, where was Mall's outrage?
