Is Alagna Now Barred From Meadowlands?

[Chips N Salsa]

Since Jenn Bo Bo and others were banned for Bleeding Meds, I was wondering about the resident habitual abuser Tony Alagna?  This makes his fourth of fifth positive now at the Meadowlands.

ALAGNA, TONY P HOWELL, NJ YOB 1972
M on 5/8/2021 FINED: $1,000
HORSE DISQUALIFIED, PURSE
REDISTRIBUTION
POSITIVE TEST- POST RACE
Tony Alagna was the programmed trainer of the horse AMERICAN HISTORY when he
raced in the 7th race at Meadowlands Racetrack on May 8, 2021. Following this race,
AMERICAN HISTORY was required to submit to a post-race blood sample for analysis. A
report from Industrial Laboratories identified the presence of Aminocaproic Acid. At Mr.
Alagna`s request, a split sample was analyzed at an approved independent laboratory and
did confirm the presence of Aminocaprocic Acid. As a result, Mr. Alagna is hereby fined the
sum of one thousand ($1000.00) dollars. Consistent with N.J.A.C. 13:71-23.7, the horse
AMERICAN HISTORY is hereby disqualified from sharing in the purse from the 7th race on
May 8, 2021. The fine associated with this ruling must be paid by February 26, 2022. MMV
Points - 1/2Point Violation N.J.A.C. 13:71-23.1(a)(b) Violation N.J.A.C. 13:71-
23.6(a)(b)(c)(d) Vioaltion N.J.A.C. 13:71-23.7(a)(b)(c)(d) Violation N.J.A.C. 13:71-23.8 BY
ORDER OF THE NEW JERSEY RACING COMMISSION BOARD OF J
Status as of 11/29/2023 - Subsequent Ruling - Anthony Alagna withdrew his appeal in
Anthony Alagna v. New Jersey Racing Commission, OAL Docket No. RAC-01751-22,
which resulted in the OAL returning his case file to the New Jersey Racing
Commission. At issue in the appeal was Ruling No. 22MDH5 in which the Board of
Judges at the Meadowlands Racetrack imposed a $1,000 fine, disqualification of the
horse "American History," loss of purse and 1/2 MMV points for violation of N.J.A.C.
13:71-23.1(a)(b), N.J.A.C. 13:71-23.6(a)(b)(c)(d), N.J.A.C. 13:71-23.7(a)(b)(c)(d) and
N.J.A.C. 13:71-23.8 in connection with a post race positive test result revealing the
presence of Aminocaproic Acid in the horse "American History" after the 7th race on
May 8, 2021. Mr. Alagna appealed the decision of the Board of Judges and requested
a stay of the penalties. By Ruling No. 22TRH19 dated February 14, 2022, a stay was
granted and the matter was transmitted to the Office of Administrative Law as a
contested case. Having withdrawn his appeal, the penalties issued in Ruling No.
22MDH5 by the Board of Judges at Meadowlands Racetrack are reinstated. Mr.
Alagna is hereby fined $1,000 and 1/2 MMV points are imposed. Payment of the
$1,000 fine is due on or before October 5, 2023. The horse "American History" is
hereby disqualified from sharing in the purse from the 7th race on May 8, 2021 at the
Meadowlands Racetrack. The Horsemen's Bookkeeper is hereby ordered to
redistribute the purse monies from the 7th race on May 8, 2021 at Meadowlands
Racetrack accordingly. This matter is hereby referred to the Board of Judges for a
hearing to determine if further disciplinary action is warranted in the event Mr.
Alagna fails to show good cause to the Board of Judges as to why the withdrawal of
his appeal should not be deemed frivolous in accordance with N.J.A.C. 13:71-3.6.
Related rulings: 22MDH5, dated January 26, 2022 and 22TRH19, dated February 14,
2022.

May 8, 2021 !!!   Playing the system….

Why did this case take so long? Over 2and a half years. There were other horses in the race and why is it fair for their divers, trainers, and owners to have to wait that long to get their proper and fair  share of the purse?

The drug Jenn Bo Bo came up positive for is a non FDA approved drug for horses. Tony came up positive for a legitimate FDA approved drug for horses. Big difference.

Burke wasn't on the Meadowlands list, but doesn't he have a suspension coming up?

[Generation XYZ]

burke is still racing?

YEs, but lets not forget, Burke and his owners also put up money to support construction of the New Meadowlands. So like Alagna who trains for Myron Bell, and Segal, (Segal whom also put money up), they wont be going anywhere, and time soon.

I think by Gurals own admission of barring everyone on the list he has to bar Alagna. It really doesn’t matter who he bars. They will just get a fake paper trainer. Can’t stop the big guns. Gotta bar the horse and owner.

Isn't alagna a sponsor? He won't have any issues as long as he keeps handing over cash

How many of theses positives that are 1 or 2 years old are still on the books ?  And how long before the owners of horses finishing 2 thru 6 get their horses earnings?
