East Rutherford, NJ — Management at The Meadowlands has become aware that Rene Allard is training a stable of horses in South Florida. As a result, The Meadowlands, Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs will exclude any horse being trained or that has been trained in that stable in any stake and is actively investigating who owns the horses that are or have been in his stable this winter.

Those owners who currently have or have had horses in Allard’s stable this winter are advised that all horses owned wholly or in part by them will be excluded from participation in all the races at The Meadowlands, Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs and that all of horses owned wholly or in part by them will be deemed ineligible to for any/all administered stakes races at The Meadowlands, Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs for a minimum of three years.

If owners affected by the above are a minority partner on horses with owners that are not affected by the above and are being trained by accepted trainers, they must legitimately divest their interest in those horses, which will be required and demonstrated to the satisfaction of The Meadowlands before the March 15 stakes payments will be accepted on those horses.

The affected owners should notify their partners on the horses that fall into the above category immediately.

“This news is particularly disturbing after the indictments of March and a later superseding charge in December of last year,” said Jeff Gural, president of The Meadowlands. “We, along with the Jockey Club, spent much time and money employing the Five Stones investigators to prepare a case to get the Feds interested which led to all of those indictments. We will continue to partner with the Jockey Club to fund the continuing investigation by Five Stones. We could use support in this initiative and welcome anyone who would like to aid in the funding of this necessary and important endeavor.

“To learn that people actually give this guy horses to train after what was discovered by the Federal investigation boggles the mind. The only reason to do this, that I do this, is to clean up racing so we might have a future and to protect the guys that do try to follow the rules.

“Horsemen seem to have this absurd unspoken bond that they protect each other. Well let me be perfectly clear, trainers that break the rules and use Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) are stealing from you, not me. They are beating your horse with a PED enhanced horse then, they are buying or claiming your horse and them beating you with your own horse. I just don’t get it.”

The Meadowlands investigator, Brice Cote, will respond to questions at Bcote@playmeadowlands.com.

   NOT

  RAs response to the industry

So who are these owners anyway?

[Brown jug]

go gural
no allard until if ever he and others are cleared
no beards, no hidden ownership etc

[Brown jug]

banded them all
i think the owners should be allowed to stay in the game but not if they have anything to do with allard until he is ever cleared of his charges

[HornbyDuke]

Good for gural. It's why as a bettor the big m is the only track that I play regularly. Not denying the track has some blemishes (all do) but big m most above board.  Gural at least making an effort.

[Stan durbread]

If they are paying a suspended and indicted trainers they should be thrown out too.  What they going to claim they didn’t know he was crooked. Lol.  Wonder how many Crawford has with him

[slivercharm]

What a fuckin hypocrit

[swoodall]

Gural needs to name names.

Instead of leaving us to have to play the Kevin Beacon 6 degrees of Separation game and guess who these beards are, name them so there is no doubt.

Now been a year since these indictments went out. When is there going to be some action to get rid of these scum bags. Allard is carrying on business as usual and he should be in jail. Good for Gural, like him or not, at least he is taking a stand not only against Allard, but also his owners.

 Like him or not ? How can anyone not like Gural, all the good he's done for harness racing! There would be no Meadowlands, no Tioga, no Vernon Downs. Every race would be rigged by the chemist, and you guys wouldn't be in on the dope. The only ones who don't like Gural are the cheaters, or they're jealous of the man.

 I'm sure Crawfords have many with him, they are the biggest cheaters of all. Its all about money and winning, they have no scruples. But they do donate lots of $500. & $1000. breedings to try and look good, LOL.
