MOMENTUM CONTINUES NAVARRO HEARING: INCREASED FINES AND CLAIMS THAT GINDI LEAVING SPORT AT KEESEP BOOK 5 OPENER By Bill Finley OCEANPORT, N.J.--The New Jersey Racing Commission has accepted a recommendation from the Monmouth stewards that the fines for trainer Jorge Navarro and owner Randal Gindi be increased for their behavior caught on video following an Aug. 4 win by Navarro=s brother Marcial Navarro in a race at Gulfstream. However, the commission did not revoke Navarro=s license or suspend him, which will likely make it easier for him to be cleared to race in the many states in which he regularly competes. The stewards originally fined the pair $5,000 each, the maximum dollar amount they are allowed to penalize someone. They recommended to the commission that Navarro=s fine be increased to $10,000 and Gindi=s to $20,000, which was accepted at Wednesday=s regularly scheduled commission meeting at Monmouth Park.

AI=m very pleasantly surprised with how much strength there=s been in the middle market. I think them hiking the commission, it ultimately did do what they wanted, which was get rid of the lesser [horses].

I think a lot of the lesser horses and some of the regional market horses have maybe stayed in their markets. It was a true trading horse sale. But things weren=t nuts or crazy, they were solid and strong, which is what you really like to see in a healthy market. I love Book 3, 4 and 5 and all the back ring action that there was today. It was tremendous.@ Ben Glass, longtime advisor to Gary and Mary West, remained active Wednesday with a pair of purchases, including the day=s second highest top-priced colt, a $165,000 son of Mineshaft.
