Anthony has been deservedly criticized for his driving, and for his billing practices. But this one tops them all. In the Northfield 5th on June 7, his horse broke past the quarter. So, he takes the horse to the outside fence and turns the horse to head pack to the paddock, WHILE THE RACE IS ONGOING. The judges see this, and as the field passes the half, declare the race a NO CONTEST. You will see him returning the horse towards the paddock, as the other drivers pull up their horses.
He got fined $1000, and suspended for a week, but I would drop him to a Probationary license. I never saw anything like this.

Few comments:
1. He is lucky someone did not beat the shit out of him as I know people that had to ship in to race only to let this complete asshole idiot deprive them of any money. He should have been fined the amount of the purse money and then had it distributed to the horses that did race.
2. The fine means nothing to him as all his lackey owners just had their bills increased by 25 cents.
3. People than worship AMac and his practices are complete morons as I can't wait for his buddies to comment here and defend his actions

That was a bonehead move BUT did they really have to make the race a no contest?

I watched it live
Ruled a no contest out of abundance of caution
Lots of accidents in Ohio recently
Total bone headed move
