Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, banished from Santa Anita and Golden Gate Fields, will be allowed to run his horses in New York.
Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer,“Mr. Hollendorfer is currently utilizing stall space at Belmont Park and was approved for stalls at Saratoga Race Course for the 2019 summer meet,” said Pat McKenna, the New York Racing Assn.’s director of communications. “NYRA will honor those agreements and he will be permitted to stable and enter horses at both Belmont and Saratoga.”
The big question is if Del Mar will allow Hollendorfer to run at its track when the meet opens on July 17. Joe Harper, chief executive and president of Del Mar, told the Los Angeles Times on Saturday that “we have some time to breathe before we have to figure this out. We also have to see what Jerry wants to do.”
The latest fatality came Saturday when American Currency sustained a life-ending leg injury to his left-front fetlock while running over the training track, according to Rick Arthur, chief equine veterinarian for the California Horse Racing Board. It was the 30th death since the winter/spring meet began Dec. 26.
