"During a three-hour hearing on Saturday, Wygod was cleared of CHRB charges...regarding Sweet Catomine's condition before the race and knowingly falsifying paperwork related to her departure from Santa Anita five days before the race"
"During the hearing, CHRB investigator Christopher Loop said he did not interview Wygod during a hasty investigation on April 10, a decision he said he regretted
In a one-page statement released Sunday by the CHRB, Ingrid Fermin, the board's executive director, said she was "disappointed" that Wygod was not interviewed."
"Saturday, Hollywood Park stewards Dennis Nevin, Pete Pedersen, and Tom Ward dismissed the case against Wygod after Kendall argued that the CHRB did not have evidence that Wygod was responsible for falsifying documents. "
You mean to tell me, that with an allegation that a horse was moved they did not interview the owner? My god, this CHRB is as corrupt as the fixers.
"Wygod, a member of the board of directors at Del Mar, said last Saturday that he might end his involvement in racing because of the allegations."-Good Riddance
Its not over yet Marty. The CHRB may not have questioned you as thoroughly as the public expected but you can bet that deposition on behalf of the handicappers isn't gonna be as easy to evade.
