Ok I was trying to avoid doing this but I will now prove my case with cold hard facts and evidence. Most of the Hoosier Park horseman know and understand my story when I was employed by the IHRC. Moving forward, one of the biggest issues that I had was the way I was told to selectively enforce the rules to some, but not all. I'm sorry, but I told them point blank, you have the wrong guy for this job. I was given orders to investigate any complaints that came from horseman to management and everything in between. It seemed like I would spend much of my time gathering information, only to be told drop that case and start on something else. (I soon figured out that my investigation and evidence would most likely end up with some sort of conviction or suspension/fine). I don't know how many people on horseplop have done this type of work, but it becomes very frustrating when the fruits of your labor get thrown out the window because of WHO the person is. That sums up Hoosier Park management and the IHRC. If you doubt me on this, I invite you to speak with our old steward Dave Magee who is now at Oak Grove in Kentucky.
Now I will make my case about why Scott should be removed as race secretary at Hoosier. Here is direct verbiage from the Hoosier Park condition sheet from the desk of Peine.
STARTING WITH THE QUALIFIERS ON 3/13/24, HORSES QUALIFYING AT HHP MUST MAKE THEIR NEXT START AT HHP. EXCEPTIONS ARE BELOW
1. Horse is entered in a "paid in" event at another track
2. Horse is entered at HHP and did not get in (if you feel an exception is warranted, please contact racing office to discuss)
(Violators of this rule are subject to lose the ability to enter qualifiers)
I draw your attention to this past Wednesday, May 15th's 7th qualifying race. The third place finisher was a horse named Fox Valley Durham. At the time of the entry, the trainer of record is Erv Miller. Upon meeting the qualifying time at HHP, the very same afternoon, the horse was entered and into race on May 21st in the 8th race at Oak Grove in Kentucky.
* this horse was NEVER entered at HHP and matter of factly, used HHP to qualify and violate Mr. Peine's own rule. There are other instances that I will cite upon request that involve Tyler George as well. And this is EXACTLY why I cannot work for the IHRC and/or HHP. If another trainer who only had ten horses violated this rule, Peine would throw the book at them. You can now see how the rules only apply to smaller stables. Again folks, I do not have a dog in this fight, but this type of unethical and unfair treatment of individuals was the reason why I was terminated from the IHRC and thus, my calling that Mr. Peine submit his resignation or face termination for violating his own written rule.*
