Biancone Reaches Settlement

[joeya]

According to DRF.com:

"The settlement will prohibit Biancone from entering any non-public area of a racetrack from Nov. 1 of this year until Nov. 1, 2008. His trainer's license will be suspended for the first six months, and Biancone will be unable to apply for a trainer's license in any racing jurisdiction for an additional six months, the authority said.

Also as part of the settlement, Biancone will be required to withdraw his name as the trainer of record for any horses entered in the Oct. 26-27 Breeders' Cup."

But he still gets to train his horses up to the Breeders' Cup and attend the races at Monmouth???

I wonder if one of his BC starters fails a drug test who gets the blame -- Biancone or the new guy who gets listed as trainer???

Agreement, says PB can act as "consultant". Don't know how that differs from sitting in a supertrainer office off the track and telling assistant trainers what to do, but that is most likely alsao banned for the first 6 months.
But I guess he can buy yearlings to train privately for big owners.
The "any jurisdiction" is the part I like best!!
2nd 6 months only allowed in public areas- don't some tracks require trainer of record to saddle the horses?

Majority of tracks require trainer of record or assistant trainer to saddle unless the trainer has been given permission by the paddock judge and stewards.

According to Breeders' Cup Ltd., Francois Parisel will be listed as the official trainer of the seven horses pre-entered by trainer Patrick Biancone in the Breeder's Cup World Championships Oct. 26-27.
