Doug O'Neill says "I'll Have Another" -- Barred from BC '14
 

Derby winner in my barn next week, when Goldencents kicks clear in the stretch and WINS The 139th Kentucky Derby.............:D:D:D

Sorry but he can't see into the future.

Now if he had a crystal ball or an Orb or something, maybe.

:D

I'll Have Another...

Suspension.

http://www.racingpost.com/news/live....024&category=0

Oh how convenient...right after the BC.
This sport is just horrendously bad.

It promotes evil thugs. Period.

These disciplinarians are nothing more than crony-appointed sissies. No balls.

IRS nowhere to be found. Fraud committed daily. Takeout raised to support these criminal scumbags.

I have a question.

Any person with half a brain knows that Dutrow Jr. is really Michelle Nevin.

Is there anything being done to catch this criminal? Wire-tapping...anything.

It's an insult to fans of this sport that this **** is being allowed.

The comments are priceless:

>>>As an ex racing man I cannot believe how this O''neill git has still got a licence , banned for 45 days, ah what a bother, his horses will still be trained and he can go on holiday. with a record like his he should be barred for life habitual cheater<<<


Of course in Brittan pesky little things like "multiple drugs overages" and "failing to ride your mount to the best possible finish" are taken seriously as they appear to impact the integrity of the sport

:tro:

It's alright, Coachie, it's not happening!

"Fool me 20 times well...uh...when would you like to serve your suspension, Doug O'Neckbeard? *cowers* Oh god I hope I don't offend the wrong master! I've got a mortgage to pay!"

!!!!! :tro:

Its amazing how all these trainers say they have no idea how this happened and its a mistake.

God would you want to entrust your money and investments with that type of response.

Dont forget the owners too. Ahmed Zayat played dumb and put on a phony rage charade on Twitter following the Assmussen debacle. When you spend millions of dollars on horses and say you have no idea whats going on in the stables of a Trainer you employed is not believable.

Huh?
 

:confused:And of course he can run in the Breeders Cup:zz:

yeah, that's one of the highlights of these occurrences-they give the suspensions around big days, that'll really hurt. :rolleyes:

isn't the point of a suspension that it's harsh?

as for ahmed and others like him-these owners purposefully seek these trainers, because the adage says 'if you're not cheating, you're not trying'. they want to win, they don't necessarily want the best horse.

I do have to give points tho...instead of a 'do you think I'm stupid' defense, he went with the 'I wasn't there' defense...cause goodness knows that there's no way to communicate via that new-fangled phone contraption.

Those owners donate to horse related charities so they are horse loving people. :rolleyes:

:D

yeah, buying indulgences is a time-honored tradition.

Statement from Breeders' Cup Ltd., President and CEO Craig Fravel

“Due to the recent administrative action by the New York State Gaming Commission, Breeders' Cup Limited has informed trainer Doug O'Neill, and has notified the California Horse Racing Board, of the provisions of the Breeders' Cup Convicted Trainers rule. Under that rule, adopted in 2010 and amended in 2012, Mr. O’Neill will not be permitted to pre-enter horses in the 2014 Breeders’ Cup World Championships.”

The Breeders’ Cup Convicted Trainers Rule states the following: No person may participate as a trainer of a horse pre-entered or entered in a Breeders’ Cup World Championships race if that person, during the twelve months preceding the Breeders’ Cup World Championships, has been found by any racing regulatory agency, whether a governmental agency or a non-governmental regulatory body, to have violated a racing regulation prohibiting the possession or use of any substance listed under Class 1, carrying Category “A” or “B” penalties, or Class 2, carrying a Category “A” penalty, in the Association of Racing Commissioners International Uniform Classification Guidelines for Foreign Substances or a racing regulation prohibiting the possession or use of steroids and the appeal periods for such finding shall have expired or all appeals, if any, will have received final disposition (a “Drug Conviction”).

Would be nice if they don't allow a O'Neill by Proxy trained horse to run.

:D

they should perhaps add a rule that a horse in the barn of a trainer under suspension can't enter under another's name unless he's been moved for at least 14 days-or something along those lines.

Yes that would be a good start. Until they start putting a lot of pressure on the owners, these trainers will continue.

except it really doesn't matter the more I think about it.

trainers have friends in high places, the owners. along with others in the industry. so, when someone breaks a rule, they all defend said trainer. he would never, he's a nice guy, etc. so, the supposed powers that be really don't do much, because they don't want the owners to leave the game, thus taking away their money. so, they don't do anything.

so, why bother with the testing and other protocols? just say, forget it. because they spend time and money, and pretend to want to change things....but only some really want to change it. plenty of others want to win at all costs, and they have the money and power.
but hey, let's all bash on Lasix, the poster boy of drugs...while turning a blind eye to horses mysteriously developing medical issues, dying in a trainers barn at a high rate, etc. nothing to see there, move along.

does that mean no oniels horse can run?
 

i understand barring the trainer
but what about the owners
kind of not fair to them
can they switch toanother trainer so they can run?

Not fair to them? They hired him, knowing his record.

DON statement from DON Racing website.

They won't need to switch trainers. In most of these cases, the horses just run in the assistant trainer's name. I'm sure that is what will happen here.

I think I spoke too soon. In this particular case, the horses will not be allowed to simply run in the assistant's name, at least not in New York. The question is whether other states will reciprocate on that specific part of the ruling.

O'Neill suspended again for probationary violation.

http://www.drf.com/news/probation-vi...her-suspension

Apparently, the CHRB doesn't understand what a "stay" means despite the fact that they originally gave one to O'Neill.

But, you know, it must have been the hay that was in the stall before his horse was put there.

They stayed 90 of the stay. You can't make this stuff up. And on top of that some it (19 days) will run concurrently with New York suspension.

I thought that States honor each others suspensions. If so, why is he not suspended for the entire term of each suspension in both jurisdictions?

Its awesome isnt it.

Racing.

Because it is horse racing? I can't answer, I just shake my head.

That's how it used to be. Seems tho that asmussen served two separate sentences simultaneously a few years ago.
Like I said, they say they want a clean sport.....but we all know actions speak louder than words,don't they?

The CHRB and O'Neill entered into a stipulated agreement, under which the controversial trainer is suspended for 135 days—90 days of which are stayed—and placed on probation for 18 months for violation of a board decision May 24, 2012.

and why did they stay 90 days?! it's not as tho he's been clean as a whistle until now.
absolutely ridiculous.

O'Neill ran into PVal after the hearing...

That letter sums up everything that is wrong...OUR TEAM. There is no punishment in reality, just business as usual with O'Neill getting some vacation time.
