Default True Quality barred from Jaipur over possible Paragallo tie

Jaipur entrant to be scratched by N.Y. board
By David Grening

http://www.drf.com/news/article/105539.html

The New York State Racing and Wagering Board will scratch True Quality out of Saturday's Grade 3, $150,000 Jaipur Stakes at Belmont Park because of "insufficient proof" that Paraneck Stable no longer has ownership interest in the colt, according to a board spokesman.

"After reviewing the available information on the proposed sale of True Quality," said Joe Mahoney, a board spokesman, "it was determined there was insufficient proof the Paragallos no longer have ownership in True Quality, so we're scratching the horse for Saturday."

Tough call.

Shouldn't they have to prove that Top Quality is still owned by Paragallo and friends?

Has Paragallo been found guilty by a court of law?

Perhaps let True Quality run, put the earnings (if any) in escrow 'till this is sorted out.

Racetrack management traditionally hasn't had burden of proof obligations. Private property.. Their rules. Holding True Quality out of this sends an excellent message. It says NYRA and the RWB are taking the sanctions against Paraneck/Paragallo 100% seriously, are following through on the penalties, and are being vigilant.

It also is a supportive stance for tough action against other 'undesirable conduct' around the racetrack... The threat of legal entanglement by penalized parties of any kind (trainers, jocks, owners) has been a thorn in the side of the states/tracks/industry in recent years, and being hard-assed about things has to start somewhere.
