He won a lot of races at Tioga at a time when there weren't many regulars and the big boys would come in and destroy the place on Sundays.

Commission penalizes driver for animal cruelty

What constitutes horse abuse?

The Maryland Racing Commission confronted the issue head-on yesterday and handed down a 30-day suspension and $500 fine to a driver at Rosecroft Raceway who it thought had crossed the line in two instances from rough handling to animal cruelty.

The commissioners said that Fern Paquet Jr., 27, of Temple Hills had been guilty of cruelty to animals in both cases, although Paquet contends he was disciplining a horse in one instance and was using aggressive driving tactics in the other.




Paquet said he is "being used as an example" in the board's get-tough stance. "I feel like I'm being picked on," he said. "I admit I was wrong and didn't use my best judgment. But I'm not a horse abuser."

In the first case, Paquet hit the aged pacer, Two Dollar Bet, "eight or 10 times," according to a track veterinary report, after the horse broke stride during the early stages of the 13th race at Rosecroft on June 3.

Paquet acknowledged that he was angry and hit the animal. "But I didn't hurt him. I was trying to get his attention. He has bad habits and was heading for the paddock," he said. "I had to do something."

However, Rosecroft starter Steve Swinford told the board "two or three strikes" is what he considers enough to discipline a horse.

In the second case, Rosecroft judge Austin Galentine said that Paquet was literally "hitting a dead horse" when he struck Southhampton Rebel 37 times during the last half-mile of the 10th race on July 6 and continued to whip him even though the horse, who was favored, dropped back in the stretch and finished sixth.

Paquet argued that "there are lazy horses." He added that Southhampton Rebel had responded to such aggressive driving techniques in the past and that although the horse finished off the board, he did not lose ground.

In handing down the harsh penalty, commissioner Carol McGowan noted that Paquet had once before been placed on probation for excessive whipping of horses.
