Rene Douglas update
Not much more info but they say it's related to a step-up in keepng banned substances from the grounds? I'll try and pull a court case if one was filed today.

"Calder president Ken Dunn had no comment other than to say that the track had employed its right as a private property owner to bar the jockey from the premises. In a related matter, Calder management recently authorized an addendum to the track's house rules on veterinarians, veterinary practices, and controlled substances, with stiff penalties to await violators. The addendum was compiled and approved by a volunteer committee of track and state veterinarians who began work on the project in July at the suggestion of track management." related to what then???? |
If it was drugs, I wouldn't think they'd let him continue to ride, which they did (for the remainder of the day). On one forum they hinted that it could be some sort of dietary medication.

Was Douglas "banning" the jockeys together to strike? Similiar to Sellers little escapade at Churchill? If it was drug related wouldn't the stewards know about it?
|
Yes but Douglas doesnt have as good of a voice

I heard thru the coconut wireless that he was seen conversing with a bookmaker who Calder deemed an unsavory character. This is all speculation of course.

Isn't the whole idea behind "keeping quiet"
in the best interest of the Calder / Tropical management? Bet they're counting the days until Gulfstream Park starts. ![]() Right now they have a meet underway, and further negativity in the press would no doubt affect the handle on their product in adverse ways. |
More in FL, perhaps related, maybe not.
