Letter of the Week

. . . and so did Singo

John Singleton got off light.
A fine of only $20,000 reduced to $15,000 because of his services to the racing industry.
The loss to the image and integrity of the racing industry far exceeds this.
A more appropriate fine for bringing the racing industry into disrespect, for his intemperate actions, would have been in the order of $150,000.
And it should have been coupled with a ban on any of his horses racing for the next six months.
All of my racing colleagues are disgusted with the leniency he has been shown.
