What's a Little Pull and Push?



What's a little Pull now and again?



Not too long ago Penn National's Zero Tolerance Policy was put to the test, it involved a Thomas McClay colt and a well known low level horse dealer.   Here we are again witnessing  this very same policy being put to the test.

Pull the horse featured above was consigned to New Holland Sales Stables on Monday July, 22, 2013.  He was allegedly consigned to the pit of hell also known as New Holland, by license owner Mark Bliss who races at Beulah and Penn National under Twenty/Twenty Stables.  Before being dumped at the well known kill auction, Pull was listed with Canter on two separate occasions once in PA and Ohio, all while still being raced.   His last race was in Ohio in the beginning of April this year under Charles Lawson. Between then and now Pull landed in Bliss's clutches.

This was the end result.





That's a pretty bold policy on their part.  So, this raises a interesting question, as Pull was sold with his Jockey Club Papers and ended up in Frank Carper's pen, is Bliss tip toeing on the line in the sand?   Or once again is this policy not being enforced?  Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil?

And speaking of that very same policy that I posted.  I would love to know the turn out of the investigation into the Prince Michael colt that was sold to Phil Shirk.  After all Phil's reputation on the back side succeeds him.

A interesting point to be made, since Phil Shirk purchased that horse for one dollar only to consign to the New Holland that Monday, didn't Ed Price indirectly sell the horse to slaughter?  After all there was never any secret that Phil Shirk works for well known kill buyer, and flipper Brian Moore.

Maybe it's time for a little push, ya?

  1. "Pull" is in safe hands as I bought him from the Camelot sale and he will be steered towards a career as a show horse.

  2. Penn Gaming's zero tolerance was initiated years ago. Window dressing.
