Any word or hints on the Gill hearing outcome?

I saw Dick Hertz closed his site down as i followed that one too. I don't know enough to have a great input here, but I try to follow, because I have a small vested interest ands want to know what is...

WHERE ARE WE?

Has anything positive occurred lately? has anything occurred lately? I have noticed shorter fields, is that due to the vet checks or just coincidence?

Just when you think it can't get any sadder or more disgusting. How can people be so cold and cruel?

I find it horrendous in anyone, but more so in women. I can't imagine what horror that little...

Thanks for that info, Driven. I'm very sad to hear of Mister Mover's sad end, As I said I followed him some time back. Sometimes it seems these horses just can't catch a break.

Actually I knew the person was a traqiner at Penn. I wanted to see if they had ever had any positives, as it is so obvious the horses were winning every time you turn around, but not doing so well...

I first found this thread by googling a certain trainer. I wanted to see if there were suspensions, drug positives, or anything of that nature.

Well, I found this thread. I did go back and read...

I say, as long as the vets are there as they say they will be, in case of an emergency, thank you. I think it should be a management issue, but as long as the vets are there to help, that's what...

I can not put into words what I think of this situation. I find it truly hard to believe that no vets are available during training hours for our equine athletes. We have no sport without them, so ...

Does anyone know how the new pre race vet checks will work. Are they to be done on race day or a day or two ahead? I hope they will stick with it as it seems to me a large undertaking, but a very...

Where is everybody? Is there any new word on the situations at Penn?

Maybe it is better than nothing at all. Sometimes a little actually does go a long way.

I am happy to hear the program is progressing. As I said the only update I could find was for 12 horses and that was from January. You are right about having the extra money, living too close to the...

Thanks for the info.

Sounds about right.

Does anyone know how many horses have been accepted into the New Vocations program? The only update I can locate from the HBPA at Penn is from January 2011. At that time it said 12 had been accepted....

HAS ANYONE BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DISREGARD OF MISTER MOVER

I am happy to at least hear Mister Mover is doing well. He is a horse I followed for a time for sentimental reasons, although not while with the most current connections. Thank you for the update.

Has anyone heard any updates on Mister Mover? Or, the last couple of posts re: the horses found in a bad place? Was anyone held accountable?

So, how is th retraining program progressing? I hope that more horses have been able to benefit from this and truly would like to see the program succeed

I am curious about the law suit Mr. Gill is filing, since most charges were dropped against DD, will he be allowed back at Penn?
I wonder how the jockeys would react now.
AlsoI'm interested in...

I am curious, how is the new rehoming process going? Are there many people utilizing the program?

I truly hope it goes well and as it is meant to be.

After reading what Laurierace wrote about gate fees at Timonium, I agree that the fee per race seem small,but will add up. I would definately not have a problem with that if I were racing at this...

Am I understanding correctly, that all trainers have to contrbute money to the Penn rescue fund? How many horses can the rescue actually handle at any given time?
If a trainer has another avenue...
