A shining example as an Eclipse award winner for the 2018 Outstanding Trainer to boot too.

Shouldnt his horses be forced to scratch until he makes good on the money owed. Isnt that what is done if a trainer is in arrears with the feed, vet or blacksmith?

The next time someone whines about how "we just can't find Americans to doooo theeese jooooobssss"... well, Chad Brown is one of the reasons why.
$1.6 MILLION could feed, house, and insure alot of Americans.

A thread about such a serious issue deserves a more appropriate title...IMO.

The entire back side business is guilty of this. Heavy wears the crown Brown.

Nine replies to such a serious matter. What the hell is going on in this business of horse racing?

Who said he did?
The fine was 1.6M. Nothing was said about how much the employees were owed. Nothing was said about how much of the fine is punitive in nature.
You guys sure jump to a lot of conclusions based on a catchy headline.

Comn PA here is a better article
http://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com...or-violations/
10 employees owed at least 10k and the top non paid employee 27k
He is a chronic cheat, making people work long hours for low pay.
150 employees are owed money.
Blank time sheets.
It’s really bad. Just pay the help.

As has already been said, I think this type of abuse is very wide spread in the industry. You don't have to be Columbo and any detective for that matter to see that workers on the back stretch are being taken advantage of.
