Manalapan, NJ — The SBOANJ, on behalf of the horsemen of New Jersey, believes it must address the Meadowlands Racetrack’s decision to ban Lady Shadow from the Lady Liberty Stakes this Saturday (Aug. 5).
While the SBOANJ applauds and supports the efforts to protect the integrity of the sport, it cannot agree with this decision.
Lady Shadow had a Class 3 overage for a therapeutic medication. The ruling is under appeal, with a stay granted by the Pennsylvania Racing Commission. The SBOANJ believes Lady Shadow’s owners are entitled to due process and no action should be taken pending the outcome of the legal proceedings.
