The Jockey Club denies stud book privileges to four

trainers

The Jockey Club announced on Thursday that one trainer will be

denied all privileges of The American Stud Book for 10 years and that three

other trainers will be denied the same privileges for three years. All actions

became effective January 1.

The denials of privileges include the privilege of

registering foals and the privileges of any registration process for any

Thoroughbred. The denials of privileges are pursuant to Rule 19 of the Principal

Rules and Requirements of The American Stud Book.

Anthony C. Agilar will be denied privileges for 10 years,

starting January 1, for being determined to have twice violated applicable

racing authority statutes, rules or regulations relating to substances that have

been classified by the Association of Racing Commissioners International Inc.

(RCI) as Class 1 or Class 2. The violations occurred at Evangeline Downs in

2012.

John T. Toscano Jr., Lonnie H. Vaughn and Daniel J. Werre will all be denied privileges for three

years, starting January 1, for being determined to have violated

applicable racing authority statutes, rules or regulations relating to

substances that have been classified by the RCI as Class 1 or Class 2.

All three violations occurred in 2012, with Toscano's coming at Belmont Park,

Vaughn's at Ruidoso Downs and Werre's discovered at Turfway Park.
