Lou Pena: Questions and an Attempt at Answers
By Bill Finley
It's been a tough week for trainer Lou Pena, who, on
Monday was hit with a proverbial sledgehammer by the
New York Gaming Commission. In a case that g oes all the
way back to 2012 and has gone back and forth in the
courts, the Gaming Commission finally issued a ruling
against Pena for 1,717
alleged equine drug
violations. (The
violations were the
result not of positive
tests but of findings that
came from Pena's vet
records). Pena was
suspended for three
Following ruling by New York
Gaming Commission, Lou Pena’s years and fined
$343,000.
future is in doubt
How this all unfolds is
far from certain. These are some of the questions that still
remain concerning Pena and what his future on the
racetrack might be.
Q: Good lawyers find ways to delay, if not overturn,
suspensions and penalties. Is Pena already shut down?
A: Yes and no. Anticipating that his client would get
hammered by the Gaming Commission, attorney Andrew
Turro, a partner in the firm of Meyer, Suozzi, English &
Klein, set the wheels in motion for appeals in the court
system before the ruling was issued. Having done that,
Turro got the Gaming Commission to agree to put Pena's
suspension on hold until more is heard from the courts. It
could take at least a month or more before the suspension
actually goes into effect.
But during that time there remains the question of where
Pena can race his horses. Already barred at the
Meadowlands and Yonkers, his main base of operation this
year has been Pocono Downs. Upon the Gaming
Commission ruling, Pocono stopped accepting entries from
Pena. So has Harrah’s Philadelphia.
Pena has a horse entered at Philly today, but that entry
would have been made prior to the Gaming Commission
ruling.
If no one will allow Pena to race, it really doesn't matter
what the status of his license is.
Q) So, is he finished...or at least out of the game for three
years?
A) Not necessarily. Turro still has a couple of avenues
where he can fight the Gaming Commission's ruling and
says he will do everything within his power to get Pena
vindicated. There's always been the question out there as
to whether or not the Gaming Commission's long delay in
issuing a ruling on the Pena matter violated the trainer's
due process rights. One court said yes. An appellate court
said no. Turro will appeal the latter ruling and hope that the
next court will throw out the Gaming Commission's ruling
based on the argument that Pena's rights were indeed
violated. In a separate action, Turro will attempt to go
before the courts and argue that the penalties against his
client were based on, well, bogus evidence. None of the
horses involved ever failed a drug test. W hy? That remains
the primary question the Gaming Commission has never
really satisfactorily answered.
Q) Supposing Pena's legal team doesn't prevail. Can he
simply serve his three years and return?
A) Again, not necessarily. First off, all he can do after the
three-year period is reapply for a license. The Gaming
Commission does not have to accept the application,
though maybe some other state would give him a license.
Another problem for Pena is the size of the fine. That's a lot
of money. Can he come up with it or would it even be worth
it to him to fork over that much money rather than simply
find a new line of work? After all, he'd have to earn $6.8
million in purse money upon his return simply to get back to
even. The fine, which would have to be paid before he can

be re-licensed, appears to be a far bigger problem for Pena
than the suspension and could be what keeps him off the
racetrack forever.
Q) That's a lot of money. W hy was the Gaming
Commission so heavy handed when it came to the fine?
A) It based the fine on the number of violations. Do the
math, $200 per violation x 1717 violations = $343,000.
Actually, it could have been worse. The Gaming
Commission's standard fine for a positive test is $500. That
means they could have fined him $858,000. Limiting the
fine to "just" $200 per violation may be a legal strategy. A
person's due process rights may be violated if a ruling
"shocks the conscious," a legal term that basically means
the punishment is way out of line with the crime. By fining
Pena less than $500 per violation they may have taken
away a possible argument from his lawyer that the penalty
was so far out of line that it violated the trainer's rights.
Foiled Again Undergoes Minor Surgery, Burke
Thinks He Has Problems Solved
Foiled Again’s recent form has not been good as he has
started his 11-year-old year off with four straight losses, but
trainer Ron Burke believes he has
discovered and fixed what has
been ailing the veteran pacer.
“I did surgery on him
W ednesday,” the trainer said. “He
was just entrapped. It's no big deal.
I’ve done this surgery on a

I’m not going to do that with him. I

think it will be two weeks off, two
after minor surgery
weeks back.
“That's what's been wrong with
him. I thought I could fix it other ways and finally I just sent
him to the guy who I think is the best in the world when it
comes to this kind of surgery. He said 1000% this was what
was wrong. He asked me ‘How on Earth was this horse
pacing in 50 with this problem?’ He think it's over, it’s all
solved. He'll be 100 percent and that was absolutely what
was wrong with him. He'll have a couple weeks off and
that’s it. I’m not worried about this at all.”
Burke said he will not have Foiled Again back in time for
the Molson at W estern Fair, which he had hoped originally
hoed would be his next race. Foiled Again is coming off
one of the worst races of his life, finishing fifth out of six in
an overnight at Pocono.
Udall, Pitts Introduce Bill to End Interstate
Horserace Wagering
Press Release from Senator Tom Udall Bipartisan
legislation will encourage racetracks to end widespread
doping & cheating
WASHINGTON – Ahead of Saturday’s Kentucky Derby,
U.S. Senator Tom Udall
(D-N.M.) and U.S.
Representative Joe Pitts
(R-Pa.) today introduced
legislation to eliminate most
wagering on horseracing,
encouraging the sport to end
If Senator Tom Udall has his doping and crack down on
way, simulcast wagering
cheaters. Horseracing is the
could become a thing of the only sport specially permitted
past
by federal law to offer online
gambling and interstate
betting, yet widespread corruption has stained the industry.
Chronic abuse of performance-enhancing drugs is
commonplace in horseracing. Almost every horse is given
race-day medication — banned in other countries — and
no uniform medication rules or doping penalties exist. As
the New York Times reported in 2012, doping undermines
the safety and viability of the sport, and 24 horses die each
week from racing injuries — an alarming fatality rate likely

caused by the misuse of permitted medication and abuse
of illegal drugs.
Udall and Pitts have previously introduced legislation to
cleanup the sport. This new approach takes their bipartisan
push to the next level by repealing the Interstate
Horseracing Act of 1978, which permits “off-track” and
online wagering. Today about 90 percent of the $11 billion
wagered on horseracing comes from this type of betting in
the 38 states that permit it.
“Out of sight of the spectators in the grandstand, 19 of
the 20 horses competing in this year’s Kentucky Derby will
be injected shortly before post time,” Udall said. “In 2010, a
drug cartel leader allegedly fixed the world’s most
celebrated Quarter horse race by paying a $110,000 bribe,
according to witness testimony in a federal trial. A harness
trainer racked up more than 1,700 medication violations —
and no one caught giving racehorses dermorphin, a
painkiller forty times more powerful than morphine, has
been permanently kicked out of the sport. New Mexico
racetracks have some of the highest rates of horse
fatalities and injuries, yet the state pays roughly $50 million
of taxpayer money into purse prizes each year. The stories
go on, but the industry does little in response to scandal
after scandal. It’s time to crack down on corruption by
ending horseracing's sweetheart gambling privileges. W e
must stop the abuse and restore integrity to this
once-dignified sport.”
“Horseracing is the Sport of Kings. Unfortunately,
however, it’s plagued by too many unscrupulous trainers,
owners, veterinarians and other race track officials who
race sickened or injured horses, pumping them full of
painkillers or other performance enhancing drugs in order
to try to win at all costs,” Pitts said. “Despite years of
promises of reform, horseracing groups have been unable
to come together to develop uniform rules that protect both
horses and the integrity of the sport. This legislation will
end a federal exception for gambling on horseracing. Since
2008, over 7,000 race horses have died on America’s
racetracks. It’s past time to put measures in place that
protect racehorses from abuse at the track.”
The bills are named after racehorses who were given
drugs to race and were euthanized on the track. Udall
named the Senate bill after Teller All Gone, a two-year-old
Quarter horse who fell after the wire at a race in New
Mexico. Pitts named the House bill after Coronado Heights,
a four-year-old Thoroughbred who died racing after
receiving a diagnosis of early degenerative joint disease.
Spring Mixed Sale Closes Monday
The entry deadline for the Meadowlands Spring Mixed
Sale, featuring 2-year-olds in training as well as
racehorses, has been extended to Monday, May 4,
according to sale manager David Reid. After that time, only
supplemental entries will be accepted.
The sale will be held Sunday, May 31 in the race
paddock at the Meadowlands. A special training session for
the 2-year-olds that are entered will be held the weekend of
the sale.
Many owners with quality racehorses have a hard time
parting with them when purses are high and race meets are
opening everywhere, as they are now. But, according to
Reid, that’s what makes this the perfect time to sell.
“Right now, owners and trainers are scrambling for
racehorses, and I would expect that those willing to flip a
horse for profit are going to be rewarded by selling,” Reid
said.
“The same applies to 2-year-olds. It’s my hope that
people with promising 2-year-olds begin to realize there’s a
great market out there for them… buyers who are really
willing to step up to the plate.”
Those wishing to enter the Spring Mixed with either a
2-year-old or older racehorse can call the sale office at
(914) 773-7777 or enter their horses online at
www.tattersallsredmile.com.

Early Start for Derby Day Card at the
Meadowlands
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - Kentucky Derby Day on
Saturday, May 2 is clearly at the top of the horse racing
calendar, one of the busiest and most entertaining events
of the entire year at all racetracks. The Meadowlands will
use the occasion to kick off the 2015 Championship Meet
promising a full slate of racing and activities to keep the
fans entertained well into the night.
A new wrinkle this year is the early start with the first live
race scheduled at 5:30pm to accommodate the appetite of
what is expected to be a capacity crowd as they anticipate
the Derby. Live racing will break for the running of the
Derby which is listed to be approximately 6:24pm, then
resume around 7:00.
A brand new wager will be unveiled to celebrate the early
start. Christened 4 in 40 minutes, the bet is a Pick 4 that
incorporates two live Meadowlands races with two from
Tioga Downs featuring a race every ten minutes.
On the racetrack the $47,124 Albatross, a division of the
John F. Simpson Memorial stakes for three-year-old colt
pacers, continues the Grand Circuit push into the month of
May. The race marks the return of unbeaten W inter Series
sensation W iggle It Jiggleit who has had a bit of a
freshening in anticipation of his ascension into the top
ranks for his division.
W iggle It Jiggleit seared through his winter assignments,
taking a leg of the Sonsam series in 1:49.4 before
demoralizing a solid group of sophomores in his Buddy
Gilmour sweep. Owner George Teague, Jr and trainer
Clyde Francis have conspired to map out a summer
schedule that includes stops at all the major races for
pacing colts and chose the Simpson to launch their prize
pupil's return after a month break and a 1:53 qualifier in
preparation. Montrell Teague has his regular role as driver
which he has held in every one of Wiggle It Jiggleit’s
previous races.
Also on the card is the $54,200 W hata Baron final,
named for one of the early equine heroes of The
Meadowlands. Rediscovery appears to be the one to beat
in the final after setting a career best 1:49.2 record in leg
one and overcoming a second tier start to win the second
leg. From the powerful stable of Ron Burke, Rediscovery is
owned by Burke Racing, W eaver Bruscemi and Phil
Collura. Meadowlands leading driver Yannick Gingras has
the drive.
As the evening continues, Victory and E-Rock
Entertainment will be hosting the fight of the century where
Floyd Mayweather will take on Manny Pacquiao, undercard
begins at 9 p.m. Cover charge $25 for men, $20 for ladies.
Reservations are strongly recommended. For reservations
call 862.668.2473 or e-mail
info@victorymeadowlands.com.
The gates open Saturday morning at 9:30, admission is
free and there are a plethora of racing, dining and
entertainment available, sure to satisfy all desires of the
racing patron.
Race 7, N/W $15,000 L5 Trot
QUICK DEAL was solid in his return to the races last week
for Julie Miller and we all know what he's capable of when
on his game; should be able to bottom these out.
POUNCE HANOVER remains unbeaten on the McDermott
claim and aims for his fourth in a row; he just might this
sharp right now. D'ORSAY was cold on the board last
week and never fired in her return; I'm inclined to sit
another one out as she draws the worst post in second
start back. HOME TURF was a 1:53 winner two back
against lesser and will offer a price despite having Burke
and the rail.
Race 8, N/W 1 Pace
HURRIKANE ALI was winless last year in five starts but it
doesn't look like it'll take him that long to break through for
a win this year. He closed in :26:1 two back against Blood
Brother and then won his most recent morning mile in
1:51:4; seems to have matured a ton over the winter. THE
LIMIT HANOVER has been chasing fast foes in his two
return qualifiers; on paper it looks like he can keep up from
the rail for a share. J EAGLE FEATHER debuts for
Toscano and could be any kind; worth including if the price

is right. SUCHASENSEOFHUMOR had some belated pace
to offer in his most recent qualifier for Burke; driver may
take an early shot against these.
Race 9, F&M N/W 2 Pace
SINGLE ME can indeed be singled in here, and without
question. Stakes-placed filly from last year never
disgraced herself in the multiple occasions she was in
against last year’s Horse of the Year and just qualified to
be second to another top filly; looks like the easiest type of
winner. CEDAR HALL HEIRESS raced better than
expected upon arrival last out and Dave Miller will return in
the bike; that filly that won her last race would rate kindly in
here. KAITLYN AKEEPER debuts for Toscano and is
almost certain to be forwardly placed against these; need
not be much to land a share. QUICK AINT FAIR sported a
:26:3 final quarter in her lifetime debut last out and that's
something she can certainly build on; NEW JOEZ can tow
along for a piece.
Race 10, F&M N/W $5,000 L5 Pace
OCEANS MOTIONS has been in these parts before and
now ships up from Pompano and lands in the Elliott barn
which has heated up of late. If you can look past this ones
last race in Florida she generally outclasses these; may
only need to be half right against this group to notch the
win. JANIE BAY ran out of steam late in her most recent
with a :30 second final quarter but that was still a relatively
classy mare that beat her; tends to fire more often than not.
TOP BRAND lands her best starting slot in a while and that
makes her an instant player in this condition; the barn has
been racing better than that 0 for 15 record shows. KZ
BEACH GIRL has been erratic of late but is competent
when she has it all together. DREAM'S BAR is
handicapped the outside post on the big drop but she still
failed at this level three races back.
