Ernie Paragallo charged; SPCA takes over farm

[Merlinsky]

I think some folks are convinced nothing will ever be done on a serious level in these situations in terms of banning, Jockey Club actions, etc. but between Ernie and Mullins we have 2 guys caught red handed breaking the rules. In Paragallo's case it's particularly horrific. I happen to think the NTRA and NYRA to name a couple are particularly anxious to put some heads on pikes as examples--those guys just volunteered.
