Default JAMGOTCHIAN: Claiming rules being struck down by KY AG..

California firebrand owner Jerry Jamgotchian says that in answer to his request for a constitutional ruling regarding restrictions within claiming rules, the Kentucky Attorney General's will be issuing notice today confirming them as unconstitutional. He expects the letter to that effect will say the state of Kentucky will eliminate or simply not enforce claiming horse 'jail' restrictions.

In addition, Jamgotchian says he has been informed by Penn National that they will not enforce the existing KY claiming rule in Pennsylvania, and will allow claimed horses to race there.

Any word on whether or not Pennsylvania will allow horses claimed at Pa tracks to race elsewhere without serving jail time?

Default Jamgotchian sues KHRC

Go Jerry!!

It's time for the track's archaic claiming rules to go! The track imposed "jail" rules that won't let a claimed horse run at another track for a certain period of time after the claim restricts my ability as a horse owner to run my business needs to stop.

Delaware restricts me from being able to claim and, even if I could claim there, I would have to keep the horse racing at the track until the meet closes in Nov. It is not Delaware Park's horse - it is my horse. I should be able to run my claim where I want, when I want. And I shouldn't be restricted from claiming at Delpark as long as I meet the licensing requirments and am a licensed owner in good standing.
