Business As Usual

Beattie, in an interview July 12, said Parker’s claim that he told her he would take the horse upon its retirement isn’t true.

“It has been a long three months,” Beattie said of the situation, which made her a popular topic on Internet chat rooms. “I don’t send horses to killers. I don’t believe in that. My reputation has been trashed, and I’m not happy about it.”

You can only recycle trash so many times

Beattie, who operates large stable, said she has given away about 110 horses since January 2009 and “can tell you where all the horses are.” A few, including Contrary, fell through the cracks, Beattie acknowledged.

She said the horses were to be shipped to a retirement facility in Ohio. She worked through trainer Darrell Delahoussaye, who several months later was kicked off the grounds by Penn National management.

DD now theres a good one to allegedly have making your horses retirement solutions. Would you or anyone of your defnders care to share with us the success stories. Surely out of 110 horses at least one made it as a sports horse. What retirement facilety can take 110 horses?? Why haven’t they come forth to laud your generosity and benevolance.

Two of the horses ended up in the entry box at Suffolk Downs in Massachusetts.

Umm why did their papers go with them…and you obviously signed them over to someone, I doubt a rescue did that. You naughty girl, your nose is inching out there.

“When there going to a retirement home, you don’t think they’ll race again,” Beattie said. “I didn’t call the retirement place, and if that’s my ignorance, it’s my fault. Did I trust Darrell Delahoussaye? Yes. He showed up here, got licensed, and got stalls. I’m a trusting person.”

Double decker bus loading at the gate all in front please…:smiley:

Some thoughts and reflections

Since when did Delahoussaye become a respectable retirement option?

Stephs reputation? What reputation?

Is Donny Brown a stress eater? If so the firehouse food and beverage guy could be a busy man.

I know where my horses are. But I don’t remember. It’s like losing your car keys - it happens. Right? Not!!!"

Does Paul Jenkins appreciate weekend visitors?

Just who is that mystery man behind the mustache in the commission office?

Grand jury? What grand jury? It’s all a hoax right? Please let it be a hoax. Oh God I’m praying its a hoax. No!!! That subpoena isn’t real. If I pretend its not there maybe it will go away

Boy, Steff Beattie must think that EVERYONE is just plain dumb to believe any of that crap. There is only one reason why anyone would use Darrell Delahoussaye to retire horses, and that is to have them sent off to be retired, PERMANENTLY! And I don’t mean in a living, breathing type of retirement. On top of that, one could make a few extra bucks in the process.

Beattie didn’t just pop out of an egg where she was clueless to the fact that Delahoussaye and/or Adamo were part of many Gill horses disappearing since at least mid 2009.

The exercise rider that no longer works for the empty Elk Creek Ranch who kindly showed me the 5 horses who wouldn’t fit on a full load.

Explained in clear concise English. The truck comes Gill gets paid $1.00 per horse to make a legal transaction.

Truck is loaded until max, then heads for a 1 way no stop trip to the not so Rainbow Bridge.

Adamo and DD were aware and had access so why wouldn’t they spread the wealth??

SB unfortunately the only way to stop being villafied is to clean up your act. Like an addict you will fall down many times and try to pick your self up. Racing attracts all kins of people in many walks.

Unfortunately short cut cheaters who are willing to sacrafice their stock seem to love this game.

Moe larry curly, your thoughts and reflections are very interesting. i’d like to make a comment on some of your thoughts. As far as Steph’s reputation, she shouldn’t be concerned it’s only going to get worse in the next few months. when little DW gets done with her, she will be walking hots for Lake. and trusting your horses with Double D! Are you kidding me? give us a break steph, cut all the BS, please! and does Mr. jenkins like weekend visitors, well, i’m not sure about that but i sure do hope that anyone that visits him will supply him with some Preparation H. He will sorely need that!!(no pun intended). Grand jury?? what Grand jury? there’s no grand jury. nothings going to happen, the individuals talking about subpoenas and grand jury are troublemakers, i know that! famous words by mental midget T. Pointer in the past day or so. why don’t you call your good buddy Johnny k and ask him how his day went today. and then tell us about NO grand jury. this has to be a banner day in the Beattie camp. i think there should be a little meeting at the ALLEY to give a toast to johnny and wish him well for his big day next week. and Mr. brown your world is crumbling right before your eyes. a week ago you’re bashing everyone in sight and trying to get people to falsify reports to make trouble for certain individuals and now you’re like a small boy going to school for the first day.LOST!! and i do hope that you aren’t a big stress eater my man. you’re big enough already in fact you probably need a compass to find your a**hole!! Well, i know this is my first post and it will be my last. i have been watching this thread and i must say it is a complete joke.there is no freedom of speech here whatsoever. the moderators don’t want to look at and hear the cold hard facts. they seem to try to protect the people that have done wrong and everytime facts are mentioned concerning corruption and wrongdoing at Penn National the person posting is banned. Mr. moderator, I wonder if you all wear skirts to work everyday because to me you appear to be a bunch of pantywaists. you should just terminate this thread because it’s a farce to say the least!

>>quote>i have been watching this thread and i must say it is a complete joke.there is no freedom of speech here whatsoever. the moderators don’t want to look at and hear the cold hard facts.>>quote<

     This is where you havent been reading the posts correctly... there is freedom here.... all that is asked for is facts. Stated in a proper manner. No attacking , such as you've done... and hopefully the mods will ban you... or at least remove your pitiful attempt at disrupting the factual statements posted.

   This thread has done good. It has prompted an overseer of SB's retirment program, no resistance. Id say that was quite a feat!

 The facts are prevailing ... and I for one hope they continue and all the evils of PN are exposed so the new day of racing can emerge. Dick has hope, ...and Im sure there are many others who will echo his thoughts. This thread has given people courage to stand up...be counted...and not live in intimidation any longer.

As far as Dick Hertz… he made a mistake… as as will happen…the consequences he suffers…but you wont see him bashing for that…he takes his own accountability.

Vixen, Dick actually despises what this thread has become. I don’t think you speak even remotely close to his true feelings on the censorship of this site. But at least he didn’t sit on the his hands in the back of the room in complete silence at the meeting. He didn’t fear Steph like some others that talk a good game. He went at her with straight questions and stuck his neck out there. That meeting was a disastrous mess of people who were petrified to lose stalls or work privileges. And believe me there is nothing that disgusts me more than a big talker that freezes up and gets cold feet at game time. At least Dick is not one of those people.

And your real name is…?

Barbara, I have to admit Mostoller is making some real progress here with our retirement program and the pension plan. Has Mike Balezzi weighed in with an opinion on the situation yet?

DURINGANDAFTER

NOW THAT MR. WELLS IS SUPOSEDLY OUT OF THE LOOP WITH MS. BEATTIE WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THE HORSE DURINGANDAFTER BEING SCRATCHED ON TUESDAY BECAUSE BEATTIE BROUGHT THE WRONG HORSE TO THE PADDOCK? THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SEEMS TO ME LIKE THE LEADING TRAINER NEEDS TO START BUYING EAR TAGS AT FARM AND FLEET LIKE THEY USE FOR SWINE AND PIGS. I’M SURE DAVEY BOY WELLS AINT TAKEN THE BULLET FOR THIS ONE. FACTS ARE WHATS WANTED RIGHT? WELL DURINGANDAFTER WAS A STEWARDS SCRATCH IN RACE 1 ON TUESDAY AT THE CRAPLANDS AT PENN NATIONAL BECAUSE THE WRONG HORSE (AND WRONG COLOR) WERE BROUGHT OVER. AND SHE CAN ACCOUNT FOR WHERE ALL 120 HORSES WENT AFTER THEY WERE DONE…UH YEAH RIGHT. DID DURINGANDAFTER SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS OR WAS DARRYL DELASALAMI SUPPOSED TO RUN IT AND ACCIDENTALLY TOOK IT TO CHUCKTOWN??? DOES ANYONE AT THAT TRACK BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF THIS WOMAN’S MOUTH?

Steph doesn’t know where her horses are or even what color they are? Sounds like a great president to represent us as horsemen. You just have to wonder when the loveable Donny Brown will decide to take the plunge and jump ship. At the sign of the first lost dollar or continued investigative pressure he seems sure to seek out the next lucky sap to control and steal their soul. If we’ve learned anything its that he has a weak heart for pressure and who knows what pleasant surprise lies around the corner for jolly ole St. Don. One thing we can count on, he’ll lie his way to the very end.

Yawn!

At least they have come here trying to correct some serious injustice. What have you done this entire thread from Gill to the present discussion knowing that many many wrongs against the horse population has taken place? NOTHING!!

It is people like you who force others to remain silent and instead allow these terrible deeds to continue. If left up to your kind, we wouldn’t have had any state police investigation, the grand jury deliberations, subpenas and perhaps later, jail sentences.

Your comments have all been aimed towards those who have been defenders of the equine. Most people know this business is corrupt and abusers are rampant(one of many reasons why fans have left) and it appears that is the side you prefer. To each his own.


Btw, everyone say hello to Mr. Tony Adamo as he has been monitoring this thread. I say Tony, don’t think for a second that no one here “knows nothing about” Elk Creek. There are people here that know a great deal. Don’t forget that.

So the coniving POS Gill can claim truthfully that he sold his horses for $1.00. Thereby making himself look like a good guy. I guess some folks would deduce from this that he sold them to “good homes”.

Pathological liar. But then again, that’s par for the course in the line of work he’s in–fly by night mortgages, scam financial advising and the like.

Apparently a nerve has been struck and my information has been diemed a “Threat” and “Lie”.

Of course at this late date you have to question “why now” is the informations considered a liabelous threat???

Peoples lives were affected when ECR closed up shop. Some lost income, some lost a nice country lifestyle.

The only persons to blame were those in charge, not the ones who made it more public than it already was.

Why was the place summarily closed up…yet again…and put back up for sale.
Was not the 1st time over the years this had happened.

Answers only Gill knows and we have so moved on from there.

Heavens Voice did not finish… that horse has been in my virtual stable for over a year… nice horse.
anyone know what happened?

The chart says: Stumbled badly at the break and unseated her rider.

A case of bad luck…
C. Grove had a horse, Our Commander, running at CT’s 4th race.
who also stumbed at the start and lost the rider
(again).

gee, what are the odds of that happening like that twice.?

HBPA working along with Stephanie Beattie

Good luck, she should be as far away as possible and leave it to those who actually know what they are doing…looks like crumb tossing to keep quiet to me…Dickie you are a good couragous person don’t cow tow to them…[/QUOTE]

I agree. Did anyone read the article in the Bloodhorse on July 14th? The comments made by Beattie that she never signed contracts for her horses until April and she doesn’t want the same thing to happen to other people’s horses that has happened to hers. Helllllloooooo, like are we suppose to believe that she did not know where her horses were going?

Not to beat a dead horse…but has this subject been shoved to the back burner for lack of interest, loose of faith in those most vocal, reasons we know nothing about to sweep it all back under the rug? Or is there a really grande finale still to come?

Or just tossing up of hands in disgust that is still “business as Usual”?

This thread was started with alot of bravado and demands for answers, answers that have been deflected and never honestly ANSWERED. 110 horses since 2009 and exactly where are they now…show of hands now don’t be shy…how many of you out there have 1-2 tucked away for super secret sagfe keeping??? Come on now how many of you know the rescues who took them in?

One small step for the horseman a giant step forward for the horses, what happened to the soldiers???
The war hasn’t been won, not even a battle skirmish…

I too am wondering why this is now on the back burner. I was very disappointed to read that all those complaining and pointing out breaches of the rules apparently did nothing at “the meeting” when they had the chance. (except Dick Hertz aka Neil Parker)

What happened to all the folks who were going to be outed? Were all the posts here just idle threats with no merit? If so, what a waste of time.

I really thought something was going to come of all this. Guess it was just a lot of bravado. Someone prove me wrong, please.
