Will Gural Throw Out These Big Trainers?
« on: August 04, 2023, 07:48:04 PM »
USTA reported on their site that Pat LaChance and Jennifer Bongiorno were caught using illegal drugs on their horses. At Freehold Joe Holloway was caught. Now according to past quotes from Jeff Gural he will not let these people race at any of his tracks. Some Ploppers have recently commented that Gural plays favorites and only throws out selected trainers. Now we will see if Gural is a man of his word or not.

All of this is OLD news.  The way that these cases are adjudicated/appealed and finalized is such that they show up on the current U.S.T.A. report when all has been agreed to and during any term of a suspension. THUS, the facts:
1.) JenBo-Dex from a JANUARY race (Donato Patriot K).  Will be serving 15 day suspension from July 25-August 8.  Thus will not be at ML during that period.
2.) Holloway-Over 2 year old Perfect Sting testosterone level from 6/21/2021 and he will be serving his 15 day suspension from August 2 through August 16.  Thus will not be at ML during that period.
3.) Pat Lachance-from a FEBRUARY race (Mike Z Tam) for Bute and he will be serving his 15 day suspension from July 25-August 8.  Thus will not be at ML during that period

Don't expect Jeff Gural to live by his word.
