"By 1993, McPeek had built a successful career as a claiming trainer, but that was nearly destroyed on a rainy September night.
McPeek tried to scratch a filly named Mean Doris Jean from a claiming race at the Meadowlands that was moved off the turf to a muddy track. The racing secretary told McPeek he had already "stuck" another trainer, meaning that to keep enough betting interests in the race the secretary was preventing McPeek from scratching Mean Doris Jean because there was no medical reason to do so.

Of course that doesn't speak to the Sarava claim, but here it looks like a disgruntled ex-employee (that lost their job before this incident) with an axe to grind tried to hang him.
IC has been taking jabs at McPeek for years, and although most have been good natured ribbing, this certainly is not.
