LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer was banned from Santa Anita Saturday after a horse in his care died while training – the 30th equine fatality at the Southern California racetrack since December 26.
The Stronach Group, which owns the track located northeast of Los Angeles, said in a statement that Hollendorfer ‘‘is no longer welcome to stable, race or train horses at any of our facilities.’’
American Currency, a four-year-old gelding trained by Hollendorfer, was euthanized Saturday after suffering a leg injury while running over the training track, which sits between the turf course and the infield and is not used for racing.
