Tony Richey

I thought felons/people on probation/unsavory characters couldn't be a horse trainer, presumably to protect the betting public? From the way I read the rules of racing, that's what it says. I've complained to racing officials about the same things that mbenzpolo says, they won't do a thing to him. Definitely someone that honest people want to stay away from, I found out the hard way. And not only does he take bribes, he passes them out. That's why the gate crews love him - they make more off of him than off their paychecks! Tony's not even the trainer, he's the one that hooks the owners/horses. Joey Foster is the trainer of the horses. Since they got caught with a bunch of bad tests, their "win" record has hit a slump, though...

Was thinking of using him, he is having a good meet. What do you think of Kenward Bernis? Who are you using currently?

Stay away from this trainer...Complete crook!! Had two of my horses with him and he claimed that they were hurt and for me to get rid of em...Both horses went on to win stakes races the following race after they were taken from him...He takes bribes, is associated with the crooks of Louisiana in the horse racing business and is a very shady character...
