This could get very interesting

Paulick on Twitter: Pennsylvania HBPA president Tim Shea said he witnessed trainer David Wells being handcuffed, taken away at Penn National.

From Ray Paulick on Twitter:

Getting multiple (still unconfirmed) reports of numerous arrests by FBI/state police at Penn National racetrack.

Penn National actually has some good people in management.

It sounds like the state is currently in the process of establishing a greater hands on approach.

Most likely from the very limited information available, it would seem that doping/medication rules were being looked at under the category of race fixing.

I always had a bad feeling when Rapid Redux was given that Vox Populi Eclipse Award, just like when Michael Gill won one for Top Owner.

These are not the kind of connections you want winning awards. Anyone with half a brain knew there was a pungent aroma surrounding Wells, and "the streak", and there has been one for several years.

Let's be thankful that this sort of illegal activity is confined to the state of Pennsylvania.
