[theokodjak26]

So fellow Ploppers what is Gural going to do with Tony Alagna, 3rd biggest trainer earner in 2023, now that Alagna put an end to one of his appeals for drugging?

Basically simple he bides the 45 day suspension while he's racing Kentucky into the fall.

XYZ are you saying that KY will not keep Alagna from racing for 45 days. What a sham that is if I understand you correctly.

Its a NJ ruling does not apply to KY. Its not a universal suspension only in state of NJ.

KY buries Bob Baffert for 3 years but allows harness cheats to thrive in their state. I know this is old news but harness racing desperately needs a national commission with consistency of rules.

I wish they counted in all jurisdictions.  He'd just get a beard anyway.

Maybe I am misreading this, however it seems as though the appeal by Alagna was reinstated and that the actions are stayed?

[theokodjak26]

Seattle I thought it said appeal continues but one he gave up on.

[The Thorn]

If you read the very end it says that the withdrawal of the appeal was made in error and that the appeal and stay of the penalties continues. So no 45 days .... yet.

XXZ,
Your are erroneous incorrect. T.A. will absolutely be suspended in KY and every other state. It’s reciprocal suspension.

There's always an exception for his pals. Burke has a couple bad tests every year and he continues to race there. To me that qualifies as a habitual offender just like the Orange Peel pack even Yuki Smeltdaadt is getting on the scorecard now. Leopards can't change their spots. 

[White Rabbit]

For the positive Burke has gotten he has not raced, his brother goes down as trainer. Happened earlier in the year this year or at the end of last year. There are no exceptions for it.
Just checked Mickey Jr was down in Dec 22, 33 starts 5 wins- 6 seconds

You are correct!

No you are incorrect. Other states DO NOT have to reciprocate! He is racing in PA, KY and NY.  Better check your facts again my friend.    or for simplified reference look up USTA entries.

It’s never happened, once the suspension is final and he or whoever , is given days every state suspends the person. If what you’re asserting is correct then post one instant when this occurs.If a driver gets days from a commission they can’t driver in any other state or CD, same applies to trainers.
His days have not started yet.
