2008/06/23 | Bonita-Ft. Myers Corp. | Florida | Naples-Ft. Myers Greyhound Track | abuse | 2008/06/06 | | | 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. |

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. |

2008/05/27 | Hartman & Tyner, Inc. & West Flagler | Florida | Mardi Gras/Hollywood | misc | 2008/04/15 | | | Consumer complaint - he purchased a ticket for a simulcast race in New York; it was at first deemed a no winner and the patron discarded the ticket. However, an inquiry by the Judges quickly resulted I the ticket being a winning ticket, but when the patron went back to find his ticket, he could not. Even though an investigation confirms that the ticket the patron described was indeed purchased and was a winner, it would be a violation of pari-mutuel rules to pay out the winnings without the presentation of the ticket. The ticket was not cashed by any other individual. Case closed with no winnings paid out. |
