I doubt he purposely did any of this its fricken horse food

i think he purposely turned away from what he knew full well was going on. but if you want to attempt a defense of the indefensible, go for it.

That doesn’t jibe with what Richard Baiardi told the Paulick Report. Baiardi, who transports and re-sells horses across the United States, said he had talked with Paragallo about taking the horses but that he picked them up at Center Brook Farm much later than December. “I don’t have the exact date,” he told the Paulick Report as he was driving his van through North Dakota on Friday. “But I can tell you one thing: it wasn’t in December. You can call the horse sale and find out what day they arrived, and that’s the day I picked them up.” Baiardi said he has van logs and other documentation to account for the date he picked the horses up at Center Brook.

When asked later about the discrepancy in dates, Paragallo hedged, saying he couldn’t be certain the horses left his farm in December.


“This kind of neglect doesn’t happen overnight, or in three weeks or even two months. The vet reports shouldn’t have been as bad as they were."

Trust me for 20K a year you can feed 60 horses..Sure they won't be looking like a pletcher at SPA in august but they will be fine.. Ernie can afford 20k

the descriptions of the horses in the paulick report, posted above, doesn't describe the horses as being 'fine'. walking skeletons, lice infested. two died that morning...yeah, the picture of health. :rolleyes:

Maybe we should send Cannon Shell to Ernie? Seriously Ernie had no clue it could never be worth the 20k he saved..

a new low.

I get much worse..

that doesn't surprise me at all. anyone who would come on here and defend starving and selling horses to a kill pen could certainly stoop pretty low i'm sure.

Danzig there is zero chance EP had ANY clue.. If you wish to argue that he should have been more diligent with knowning axactly where his stock was going fine..if you think for a second he thought his stock which he raised raced bred and care for was in squallor you are completely dilussional.. The guy is wealthy clearly the money is completely insiginficant.. he f'd up by not paying closer attention trust me it was completely unintentional!!!

which makes the fact that these horses were starved that much more reprehensible in my opinion. he's the owner, he's responsible- it's that simple. and i'm far from delusional. the horses were in rotten condition when the driver went to get them, according to the story two were already dead. the dates don't add up, no name for some supposed farm, no number. it's a bs story. paragallo crawfishing on the dates....gimme a break.
and for you to joke that maybe it's a great weight loss system, that's just sick.

knowning axactly?

Did 10 Point Move Up steal your login?

sapphire maybe?

I love Saphire with a side of vikes

He says it was a home run for his business (to get rid of these horses.) Wouldn't you remember the name of the guy who was doing you a big favor?

20k would feed 60 horses for a month. Maybe...

Chuck 30 dollars a day to feed a horse........... revisit please

I behalf of GMbob and myself I contribute a 1000.00 ..........Bob see you in court..LOL

horses eat a lot...Your right, it is about $20 a day. Horses eat a lot and hay is outrageously expensive especially in NY

20 a day is prefection 10 a day is likely...thats 600 a month 7200 a year its a fn joke money wise

They might be yummy.

I don't know, but people in Belgium don't seem to have the same problem we have with it.

Not the starving, lice ridden, tortured part of it - that's completely inexcusable.


But if well cared for, properly fed, then humanely processed -like every other livestock that is packaged in neat little stryofoam containers that none of us give a moments thought to when flung onto the grill...

jus' sayin - don't hate

It doesn't cost that much if you own the farm!

you can feed a horse for less then 300 a month

per horse

Why? You cant grow hay in the winter in NY and there is no discount for feed for farm owners

You cant tell me that a horse cant live on 10 dollars a day of food?

Obviously you can as shown by the pictures.

tell that to the feed man. How much do you think we pay for a bag of feed? How much do you think hay costs? Do you know how much a horses eats a day?
At the track with supplements it is around $27 a day. w/o supplements around $22. Hay prices have been through the roof. Last year in November in KY they were selling big bales of hay for $24 per.

NOT THRIVE cHUCK LIVE AND BE FAIRLY HEALTHY.. Plus they dont have to eat a bale plus a day

Ok, Woody Stephens

LOL

The hay was @ 24 for the three wire at Belmont this winter. Right now at Finger Lakes the local feed stores are selling at 5.50 for first cutting. If your lucky and know the local farmers you can get it cheaper, or even attend a local auction. Either way it's much more expensive than in recent years. Last time i was at the farm there were @ 300 mouths to feed..Do the math...

chuck the Belmont isn't the worst race to win

I paid 35 a day for first class care with some training for Drug'S pig 2 year old in training I purchased at OBS JUNE.. I figure I will be eating this gelding beforew he runs a lick..

there barren mares they need to eat... doesnt have to be 1st cutting

Don't worry Freddy - those Cappuchino's are late developers.

A lot of the horses racing at Mountaineer now are supposedly being fed at a cost of $180-to-$200 a month. That figure includes alfalfa, timothy, straw, and feed.

key word supposedly. Plus at the track you can steal from your neighbors. harder to do at the farm.

That's what I've heard from trainers racing down there now.
