Very unforgiving

I can't believe they've suspended this guy for so few violations!! No one can ever accuse the New York Racing and Wagering board of tolerance and forgiveness.

This is the biggest bunch of nonsense to come out of the NYSRWB yet !!! What, now they can call a "virtual positive" ? Those horses all tested clean post race, which means any lingering medication in the urine and blood was below the legal threshold limits-meaning no effect on performance. They think the guy is dirty and they can't catch him, so they are inventing a way to get rid of him. Everyone in this business should be very, very worried. The gestapo tactics are way out of control and this charade will surely be laughed out of court.

I know very little about harness racing or Pena himself, but this attack by the SRWB's of NY and NJ is beyond ridiculous. As an aside, what statement does it make about the efficacy of the testing procedures when they (Racing commissions) resort to this tactic ?

It is still America we live in is it not ?

My favorite part is that he's facing like $50 million in fines. That's one way to fix the state budget shortfall, I guess.

Is this number higher or lower than Dutrow?

It s the Al Capone theory.
