by the way:

This was one of Elizabeth Carotenuto's horses some time ago

she was the one who was racing her horses excessively
some raced 4 times a way at times!

some instances, her horse PALMS BEACH had raced over 62 times in a year!
to me, this qualifies as animal abuse

Not sure if she and Washington are related to associated in any sense
but something seems related in some way

Is this Washington related to the numerous other Washington's in the past history of Monticello and what is his relationship?

I believe Dennis is one of Bubba ( General Washington's sons) may he rest in piece...
I attended the races a couple of weeks ago and I believe he was down as a trainer driver for one of Rene Allard's horses..

Everyone there except for a few do their own injections, very few can afford Kokonos the vet, plus he usually blows up their knees, not saying it’s right, just the facts
I am not Jerry Clark and I have no affiliation with in front racing

Honestly... what would ever prevent a lifetime ban in this profession?  The Sumner guy starved a horse to death... heard he’s back.  This guy only gets a couple years.... there is just absolute lawlessness in this sport.  And the governing body even puts the info about Washington on their website... yet doesn’t banish him for good???
