Title: Gerald Longo Recent Claim
Post by: HHTremor on May 22, 2018, 10:16:38 PM: Why would Gerald Longo, who currently races at Running Aces in Minnesota, claim a horse for $8,000 off of Luke Plano at Hoosier Park in Indiana. The horse is Fire Dance (8,M Dragon Again-Odds On Tally-Western Hanover). The drive time is over 9.5 hours. I don't believe that Longo drives or trains in Indiana at all. Was the claim that good or maybe he claimed her for a broodmare?

To launder the money. Rick Plano on his worst day is ten times the horseman Longo could ever hope to be.
