It actually isn’t Dave McNeight jr that claimed him. It’s his owners that he trains for that claimed him. You are right though, that piece of shit should be banned for life and not allowed near a horse. But then again Batavia and Buffalo let all kinds of drug using lowlifes race there. Petrelli, McDonough, clouser, 500 lb Sam smith, rice, brandstatter / hall, Dave Russo, kiblin. Only handful of honest drivers and trainers.
