Do you think NYRA will have the "juice" to permanently ban Paragallo from it's racing premises? (excluding the fan areas) and enforce NO contact by any Paragallo with the Paranack agent/trainer.

Paragallo is already "blustering" he'll get a new agent.

i'd imagine they can and will. he has been paranecks agent since he lost his owners license a few years ago-he put the stable in his daughters' names...but now he's out as agent, so they have to get someone else.

i hope they do like the show jumping powers that be did, they banned a father and son for life who had killed some jumpers for the insurance money.

Barney Ward is banned, son McLain is not. Problem with show jumpers is that they are banned from showing/training at shows, but not at home. Paul Valliere was also banned but continues to train horses and riders and he sells alot of very high end horses for big commissions. He just can't go to a horse show sanctioned by the USEF.
