Patrick Biancone

I think late October he can apply for his trainers license again.

He's already purchased a farm. Whether he gets his prior owners back remains to be seen but I wouldn't be surprised if Coolmore gives him horses again. He's pretty tight with them.

Perhaps more importantly, will any tracks give him stalls?

Tracks don't have to give anyone stalls. Therein lies their power. Keeping them from entering in races is a different story.

That doesn't mean they can't utilize private training centers.

patrick biancone is many things, an all time great is not one of the names i would give him.
it wouldn't break my heart one bit if he was denied stalls.

I'm assuming there may be some legal distinction for allowing entries, but I've never understood what it is. If the trainer doesn't have, for want of a better word, the character to deserve stalls, why does he have the character to enter races? All you end up doing is simply inconveniencing him.

Depending on the jurisdiction -- one is a track management issue, while the other is a state/racing commission/etc. issue.

He'll return and win both Keeneland meets running off the farm.

Isn't possibly why he bought interest in the farm in the first place? Just in case the tracks don't give him stalls. Hadn't thought of it until now.
