Default Zero Tolerance?

Looks like Penn National dropped the ball on this one...

"In a holding pen at a small auction in Fredericksburg, PA, approximately 15 miles from Penn National Race Course, the only thoroughbred among ponies and other breeds, paced nervously back and forth calling to the other horses."

Poster Trainer?!!

"Brandon Jenkins has been featured as the poster trainer for Penn National in their Post Times handout, a quarterly publication describing him " as a 3rd generation horseman" and how his talents have not gone unnoticed. According to the publication, " he's a 17 horse outfit and stated he wanted to stay at Penn National for a long time."

"We have received the least amount of assistance from this track and management," claims Sheidy. "What good are zero tolerance policies if they aren't going to be enforced? I have rescued several thoroughbreds from Penn National in the last few months and I have yet to see this no slaughter policy ever enforced although the management has been made aware of each and every incident."
