Brett Revington belongs in jail for fraud and obstruction. If I got beat by that horse, I would be on my phone to a lawyer immediately.  
Don Harmon should pursue a lawsuit against Brett Revington for wrongful termination.  When the facts come out Harmon may get a ton of money and Revington may be bagging groceries (maybe in jail if bribes were accepted).  This sounds as bad as it gets when it comes to integrity.

Good, important article.  

$250k race, a Class 1 positive and it's not swept under the rug, it simply does not any longer exist.  

My guess is it was a minor placing (4th/5th) and the $$ was handled off the books.  Otherwise, an owner cheated out of $60k or $30k would have sued.

Thursday’s Paulick Report, in a story written by former Indiana Horse Racing Commission executive director Joe Gorajec, is reporting that a positive test for the Class 1 drug oxycodone found in a horse that raced in the $252,000 Pennsylvania Sires Stakes championship for 2- year-old colt trotters on Sept. 11, 2016, resulted in no action taken.
The race was won by the John Butenschoen-trained Giveitgasandgo by 1 ½ lengths in 1:56, with the Chris Beaver-trained Moonshiner Hanover second. Butenschoen also picked up a third and a fifth with Affair Of Honor and Dover Dan, respectively, while the George Ducharmetrained Muscles Jared, who was the 3-5 betting favorite, finished fourth.

***Weekend Preview contacted all three trainers Thursday afternoon and they all responded that they were never informed nor had any reason to believe any of their horses received the Class 1 positive. All PASS championships that night were raced out of a detention barn.***

Gorajec spoke to former Harrah’s Philadelphia presiding judge Don Harmon, who gave him the timeline of the positive test, which was revealed by the Pennsylvania Equine Toxicology and Research Laboratory (PETRL) 10 days after the race. Harmon told Gorajec that until May 31, 2017—eight months later—the information was not given to himself or the Pennsylvania Bureau of Standardbred Horse Racing.
Pennyslvania Bureau of Standardbred Horse Racing director Brett Revington confirmed in an email to Gorajec the circumstances regarding the positive test. In the email, Revington noted: “On May 31, 2017, I became aware that there was a test result by PETRL on a particular sample for the 9th race of September 11, 2016 that had not been called. At the time, the Commission and the Bureau were in a state of transition in a few key personnel areas and unfortunately, this test result was not timely addressed. When we discovered the PETRL test result approximately nine months later, we concluded, in consultation with our legal department, that due to the unusual length of time between the race date and our discovery date, we decided that we could not properly proceed with the matter against the individual trainer or owner. The matter has been closed since June of 2017. No penalties were imposed as a result of human error.”

Stake race post race would test 1-3. If someone wants to Google the race it was a 2 yr old colt trot race. Trainer had the 1st and 3rd place finisher. Second place trainer had two in while the winner having 3 in. Not throwing names out since the report didn't name names. PA needs a cleansing in their PA commission.

Oh this is nothing more than a bitter Anthony DeFrancesco getting caught using Synthetic Cannabis.  Revington has taken a firm stance against the cheaters as has been shown by his record.

The positive happened while he was the manager at the Isle of Capri Pompano Park where he boosted the betting handle over 100%. How do you fault the person who didn't even hold the position.

Once it was discovered amongst a myriad of files, it was the legal counsel who persuaded that the outcome was the best course of action.

Anyways, Paulick omits that Harmon had applied for the same position as Revington but was denied. He had many failings in his position and was also fired from Delaware. Perhaps another bitter fool lookig for vengeance.

Anyways, John Campbell told Anthony to back down and he is firmly in Brett's corner.

I`ve responded to this topic 100 times. I called the PA commission when Allard got off and told them just what pieces of shit they were. I called lawyers to see if there was anything I could do but they all said it had been too long. I called the local papers in Wilkes-Barre and gave them stories but I don`t think they did anything with it. Basically, the powers that be just don`t want to clash with the big barns. They only rape the small guy. They will go to the end of the earth to fuck the small guy and re-write the rulebook to save the big stables. I can`t wait for the bullshit to stop and when one state gov`t. figures out how to cut the slot money, the rest will follow and it will be over. By then though, the cheaters will have made so much money that it won`t matter. In 2003, I had to talk to the FBI for an oxy +, today it is an environmental issue that they never specify! Let that all sink in. The horsemen who stand by and allow this shit to happen are just as fucked up as the commission who let`s it go. These chemists are stealing your fucking money and you allow it to happen!

Pennsylvania Harness Regulators: Questions Of Cover-Ups And Conflicts Of Interest (Paulick Report)

I first went to work at a racetrack in 1965 as a teenager. I've always loved the game because it truly is the greatest game. People either understand this or they don't. You meet some of the most interesting people at the racetrack and the horses are magnificent animals. But as colorful as racing is, it also has its dark side. For the past 25 years, I have been battling with the Pennsylvania Racing Commission as an attorney. Every day I try to fight the good fight in a system that is fundamentally stacked against the horsemen. In hearings against horsemen, the Commission is the investigator, the prosecutor and the judge. To have any chance at a fair shot, you depend on the integrity of every person working for the Commission.

People come to me all the time with grievances against the Commission. They say they know this or that about the unfairness and corruption of the Commission, but my answer is always the same: “Bring me some documentary proof of your claims and I will look into it. I can't go on what you think you know; I can only proceed based on facts.” But without fail, no one can ever produce any documentary proof. Then, in March of this year, a fellow came to me and said the Commission is finding positive tests and throwing them in the garbage, letting horses with illegal drugs in their systems get away scot-free. I gave him my standard response.

A couple weeks later he brought me a stack of papers that actually verified his claims. When I saw these papers, which included lab reports and emails from Brett Revington, Standardbred bureau director for the Pennsylvania Horse Racing Commission, I actually got physically ill. They show that, indeed, horses had tested positive for even Class 1 drugs and those positive tests were basically thrown into the garbage can. Most of these races were at Harrah's Chester. The papers only showed this activity in harness racing. There is no evidence that it exists in Thoroughbred racing in Pennsylvania. In my opinion, this was a scandal of the highest order and it proves the outright corruption infecting the Commission.

While I realized that this had to be exposed, I also realized that there are people who may use this information to justify taking the slots funding away from the horsemen. I had a moral quandary on my hands. Believe me, I wish I had never seen these papers.

In Pennsylvania, a horse has its sample taken post race and sent to the Pennsylvania Equine Toxicology and Research Laboratory (PETRL), the official lab, for testing. If the sample has a suspicious result, Dr. Mary Robinson, the acting director of the lab, sends what is called a short-term hold report to the bureau director. If Dr. Robinson actually finds an illegal amount of a drug, she later sends a positive test report to the bureau director showing the name of the drug and its quantified level.

In a major flaw in the system, the bureau director then has the discretion to actually call it a positive or not. If he doesn't wish to call it a positive, there is very little chance of anyone finding out. The system relies on the integrity of the bureau director.  I was particularly interested in an email from Mr. Revington that was part of the stack of papers given to me. It read: “Those holds with possible positives. I spoke with legal and they suggested not to pursue due to timing. I'm OK taking that direction as internal thresholds suggest not to call positive anyways.” Note the words “those holds.” That  suggests that there were multiple tests – plural – which were not revealed.

This email raised several red flags to me. For non-therapeutic drugs, the Commission has always maintained that the slightest level of detection is the standard, meaning that any detected amount is called a positive. They consistently raise this argument in court. Had the Commission been untruthful in their court statements? Dr. Robinson is a master at finding insignificant levels of a drug that cannot possibly affect performance, and the Commission constantly punishes people pursuing their level of detection theory.

I thought the best course of action was to confront Revington and ask for an explanation. I didn't want to show him everything I had, as I wanted to see his reaction first. So I brought him the above email and the short-term hold and reported positive forms from Dr. Robinson for the ninth race at Chester on September 11, 2016. In this $252,000 stakes race, a horse named Moonshine Hanover, trained by Christopher Beaver, had finished second and had earned approximately $50,000. There is no evidence Beaver ever knew his horse tested positive for the Class 1 drug oxycodone.

There had been several other positives for oxycodone at Chester both before and after the race in question and all had the purses forfeited. Why hadn't this one been acted upon? When I showed Mr. Revington the documents related to this race, his face became ashen and he called Jorge Augusto, the Commission's attorney, into the meeting. When I asked for an explanation, they both responded in anger telling me it was none of my business and they didn't have to explain anything to anybody. They then forcefully suggested I get out of their office.

Dr. Robinson's positive test report was dated September 21, 2016. Mr. Revington, who was hired in November 2016, later stated he didn't find out about it until May of 2017, claiming that that is why he did not proceed on the positive test. What happened?

Shadwell Farm
The actions by the Commission are especially troubling since the Commission has established a policy in cases where protests over races occur after the proper time. The Commission has ruled that the overriding concern in these cases is that the properly entitled winners receive their just winnings whenever the matter comes to light and that the Commission has the duty and obligation to see to this. So how could they decide to drop the matter in this case? In addition, the Commission has been ordered by Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court not to grant preferences to licensees, whether innocently or culpably, as it undermines public confidence. In other words, the Commission has been ordered by Pennsylvania's second highest court to treat everybody the same.

Another race that I didn't show to Mr. Revington was the fifth race at Chester on September 23, 2016, a $35,000 stakes race where the winner, Womans Will, trained by Julie Miller, had a positive test for Pyrilimine. Dr. Robinson's short-term hold report was dated October 3, 2016, and the positive report was sent to Mr. Revington on February 24, 2017. I have had cases where delays such as this have occurred, and the delay did not prevent prosecution. There is no evidence that Ms. Miller knew her horse tested positive in the race. Mr. Revington never took any action in the matter. As it happens, the owners of Moonshine Hanover and Womans Will are from Ontario, Canada. Mr. Revington has strong connections to Ontario. That might be entirely a coincidence, but with so much being covered up, it's hard not to ask questions.

I wanted to reveal what I'd found to the trainers who finished behind Moonshine Hanover and Womans Will, but I knew what their reaction would be. Horsemen are often afraid that if they complain, the Commission might take vengeful action against them and maybe trump up some charges or give one of their horses a positive test. It wouldn't be worth even the $5,000-$15,000 dollars they might be entitled to under these circumstances. I knew I'd have to go to the horsemen's group directly if there was any hope for this situation to be addressed in a way to protect all horsemen.

I attempted to contact Sam Beegle, president of Pennsylvania Harness Horsemen's Association (PHHA), and Mike Harant, executive director of the same. They wouldn't return my calls. I did speak to several members of the PHHA board who agreed that this was a bad situation and would bring it up at the next board meeting. However, as far as I'm aware, nothing was ultimately done.

It doesn't help that Darryl Breniser sits on the board of the PHHA while concurrently serving as a member of the Pennsylvania Horse Racing Commission. Of course, Mr. Breniser, as a board member of the horsemen's group, isn't going to want to use that position to criticize the workings of the Commission on which he also sits. This obvious conflict of interest is allowed in Pennsylvania and virtually no other state. In addition, Mr. Beegle, the president of the horsemen's group, is the trainer for Mr. Breniser's horses. So again, will the trainer of one of the commissioner's horses want to use his position as president of the PHHA to criticize the Commission? Of course not.

I talked to Don Harmon, the former presiding judge at Chester. Mr. Harmon said that when he found out about unacted upon positives in May 2017, he told Mr. Revington that they must take action and that he was very uncomfortable with Mr. Revington's intention to bury the matter. Mr. Revington told Mr. Harmon that nobody would ever find out about it and told him to let it go. Mr. Harmon made it clear that he didn't want to be part of any cover up. Soon thereafter, the Commission fired Mr. Harmon, giving no cause.

After learning all of this, my head was spinning. The Moonshine Hanover positive was going to hit the papers, so I gave one final call to Mr. Augusto urging him to stop the stonewalling and get out in front of this lest he destroy the Commission's reputation entirely. His response finally convinced me that nothing was going to change until someone stepped in to stop this. Rather than address the obvious impropriety of Mr. Revington's actions, Mr. Augusto stated that those documents were illegally obtained and that if they were published, Mr. Harmon would find himself in big trouble, a not so veiled threat to use the power of the state against a man that had already been fired for being honest.

Thereafter, Joe Gorajec published an article in the Paulick Report exposing the tip of the iceberg of the Commission's improprieties, but there's so much more underneath. Mr. Revington, only knowing that we knew about the Moonshine Hanover positive, responded in writing to the allegations in the Joe Gorajec article about that race only, implying that it was a one-off mistake of human error. Clearly they weren't going to admit to anything for which we didn't have documentary proof. So, like Diogenes in ancient Greece, we hold a lamp as we look for an honest commissioner to rise up and state that this is intolerable. So far, their silence is deafening. Will they clean up their act after this most recent revelation of an unacted upon positive test, or will further improprieties need to be revealed?

I requested to speak directly to the commissioners in closed session at the June 26, 2018, meeting of the commission.  My request was denied.  I feel I have no choice but to speak out. There is an old expression that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Well, maybe these revelations aren't enough to force the Commission to clean itself up, but they're not nothing.

This information is staggering! The amount of corruption in Pennsylvania is beyond belief! These guys should be led off in handcuffs and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! Undoubtedly they would beat the wrap but at least they would incur large legal bills and be out of the business! Tracks always fear that if these large stables were penalized that they would not have enough horses to fill the box! This might be a temporary problem but over time it would moderate and a far superior product would be produced!

This stuff makes me want to get out of the business! Corruption at its finest! First the judge at yonkers now this. Where does it end? It figures one of the positives is from one of the most crooked families in harness racing. smh.

Brett Revington has been a crooked piece of scum since PPK. Nothing new in PA. But he is just a puppet. These decisions were never Rev's to make. He is just the fall boy in a seemingly endless mountain of corruption from PA.

Hey Mr. Petrelli, Why you mad bro?

Just because you got denied stalls in Pomp and a license in Pennsylvania by Mr. Revington no need to be snarky!!

Hear you applied to be a paddock judge at Pomp next year. Good luck with that with your record hahahahhahahaha 73cv.2 73cv.2 73cv.2 73cv.2 73cv.2

Time to drain the swamp, The Psrc and Revington havd issued statements that incriminate them by their own admission. The simple fact here is that the commission or Mr. Revington do not call a positive test, the Pennsylvania Equine Pharmacology Laboratory calls a positive when they detect a drug and then report the positive. It is not up to Revington or the commission to make those decisions,  the only role they play is to report it to the Judges who then have a hearing and assess the necessary penaltiesTime to drain the swamp, The Psrc and Revington havd issued statements that incriminate them by their own admission.

Did he really think he could just change the law? No, he knowingly broke the law and tried to cover it up,  then attacks, discredits, and fires anyone who speaks up. Hope he isn't going to rely on the commission Counsel Jorge Agusto to bail him out of this, I doubt he could pass 4th grade social studies in elementary school, unless of course he does his usual cheating.  I'd love to be a criminal defense attorney in Harrisburg,  business will be booming for them!!!

Gorajec run out of IN because he was to tough. Barry Irwin of Team Valor International on the thoroughbred side was disgusted when they outed him. I don't follow IN enough to judge but there seem to be enough that people complain since he left. The pressure needs to continue and open the whole ball of wax on this commission who probably have been shredding documents since the last Paulick report.

What's coming will change the game forever, the skeletons are coming out of the closets, And There are a whole lot of people in Harrisburg That are going to see Halloween come early this year. They can't hide  Anymore, They have already begun to point fingers at each other's, Everyone is running for cover And trying to make deals for themselves By turning on their  CO conspirators. Personally I wouldn't give any of them a pass, what's worse than a crooked rat?? Aside from the Psrc,  Nothing I can think of

This is a VERY simple and provable inconsistency. As a veterinarian licensed at multiple racetracks I try to keep current on which states are on board with which components of the RMTC guideline list and controlled threshold policies each is following. It clearly shows on the RMTC site, as broken down by individual state adoption of components, that PA both harness and TB commissions have agreed to endorse and enforce the controlled substance level for betamethasone at 10pg/ml in blood. 
As is shown here: http://rmtc.wpengine.com/wp...

Shown here is proof of agreement of PA TB and arabian racing to adopt rmtc levels:
https://rmtcnet.com/nationa...
And here
https://rmtcnet.com/nationa...

It will not let me post pictures here but these levels were firmly established based on science evaluating performance altering activity at certain levels. PA agree and signed on early to follow all RMTC recommended guidelines, with the exception of clenbuterol in harness racing. This is clear cut inconsistency and worse, possible cooperation to commit fraud or discard of pa dept of ag owned results and recorded property without holding proper parties accountable.

Can't even begin to let the Breeders Crown be held at the Poconos.
To do so, under the current circumstances, would be a perverted misrepresentation of what the Breeders Crown is.

Clean UP. Like they cleaned up the first supposed glaucine issue two years prior to the NY glaucine issue in 2016-2017. Dr Benson at the RMTC had provided answers to my questions of that issue and the PA Commission handle all that in house. Well interesting because if that had come out and had help with KY finding out where the environmental issue came from and would never happen again. Which of course glaucine comes from rare areas. But they didn't and opps happens again in NY. Then not long ago didn't a VET get busted for glaucine. Fuck in HSE
