Hearing for failure to disclose complete criminal history on license application was originally scheduled for May 15, 2008, but the respondent could not attend the hearing as he had just started working at the track and was scheduled to work that day; in the meantime, he submitted court documents to show that the case against him was dismissed with prejudice, and therefore, his license remains in good standing so no further action taken

A greyhound named "Kelso's Predator" died in a cage in the jenny pit area during the evening performance on 6/6/08. A necropsy was performed and supported the preliminary findings of the track vet, Dr. Hamici, that the death was caused by accidental strangulation. The greyhound was last seen alive in the cage approximately 45 minutes before the greyhound was found deceased at 9:20 p.m. The track vet noted that he had to remove the racing collar in order to remove the greyhound from the cage, and that the "snap bold round-eyed hook" (approx. 3" long, which is used to secure the brass tags [approx. 2'x3"] to the greyhound's collar after weigh-in) had opened and was caught on a horizontal wire of the 3/4" sq. of the cage wire, which most likely resulted in the strangulation of the greyhound. Based on this information, along with the official necropsy results, the death was ruled accidental & the case was closed.

2008/05/12
Patron complaint stating that there is an on-going problem at Sanford-Orlando in which greyhounds needlessly break their bones on the track due to the track's high clay surface. Investigator Toner forwarded the complaint to the new track manager, Mark Loewe, to which he responded that the track was purchased from the family that owned it for years a few months prior by Penn National Gaming. Penn has already made some changes to the track in an effort to prioritize animal safety & welfare, and according to Loewe, there is a plan in the works to have the track surface redone in mid-August.
