A joke. But these laws on animal cruelty must be strengthened.

Good.

Let's see if any tracks let him back into the sport in the future.

It doesn't mention whether he is allowed to own animals again in NY or not - I suspect there is no ruling prohibiting him from going right back out and purchasing all the TB horses he wants, and getting right back into the breeding business.

Ironic that this is the ass clown who owns half of Unsound Song and continues to decimate the breed with his offspring.

$33,000 is pocket change for this man. So his lawyer will try to reduce his time .

I don't think so. He's blackballed, and aren't there some licensing issues he would have to deal with?

That's 1/3 of Unbridled's Song's published stud fee.

Paragallo Convicted of 33 Misdemeanors
By Blood-Horse Staff
Updated: Thursday, March 11, 2010 10:35 AM
Posted: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 6:37 PM

Ernie Paragallo, a prominent New York Thoroughbred breeder and trainer has been convicted of mistreating dozens of malnourished horses. Paragallo was convicted March 10 of 33 of 34 misdemeanor animal cruelty counts in a non-jury trial.

The 52-year-old Long Island resident was charged after authorities raided his 500-acre farm in Coxsackie in April and seized 177 malnourished horses.

Paragallo could face up to two years in jail and $35,000 in fines. His lawyer says he'll appeal the convictions announced by a judge March 10. The owner/breeder testified the week of March 1 that he didn't know the horses weren't being fed enough.
