Trainer Graham Lewis Won't Give Up His Fight week and refused to give the groom that amount even Against New York Gaming Commission though, he says, the groom threatened him over the money. "He said to me ‘If you don't pay me, I will get my money by Bill Finley one way or another.'" Lewis claims.

Lewis nothing less than a bitter (continued on next page) and ugly battle between a horsemen and a government agency. "They are the most dirty scumbags on the face of the planet," Lewis says of the Gaming Commission. "What has happened to me is completely disgraceful." Gaming Commission officials are too smart to fire back at Lewis with such inflammatory language, but they don't have to. It's pretty clear they really don't like this guy. Lewis, whose nickname is the "Dragon Man," is from Wales and came to this country in the early 80s knowing there wasn't much of an opportunity to make a living in harness racing in Great Britain. He stayed until Roosevelt Raceway closed in 1988, when he went back to Great Britain. But he never lost his desire to be a success in U.S. racing and reappeared on this side of the Atlantic in 2001. He was doing fine until 2003, when he had an altercation with a groom named John Redding which began a Kafka-esque nightmare for the Welsh trainer that continues on today and has led to him essentially being banned from the sport. As Lewis explains it, he was working mornings as a bricklayer and did not normally get to his barn at Yonkers until mid-afternoon. For that reason, Redding was in charge of the small stable throughout morning training hours. Lewis became alarmed when a fellow horseman told him the groom was abusing his horses. Lewis said he confronted the individual and fired him. That led to an argument over money Redding thought Lewis owed him for the work he had done earlier in the week. Lewis decided to dock him $50 because he was not going to finish the work HarnessRacingUpdate.com • 5/24/15 PAGE 2 of 15 said that he was not a U.S. citizen at the time and instead protect myself and I have every right to complain and right of using social security numbers on his applications, he to write letters." was using work permit ID numbers and he had more than In 2010, Lewis applied again and was denied.

It is never, never happen." unclear why the Massachusetts Racing Commission had With Plainridge allowing him to race, Lewis could have allowed him to race for several years when he had his slipped off to Massachusetts and let the matter drop. But license application in New York denied but the he is stubborn, wanted to clear his name and wanted to be Massachusetts authorities apparently awoke to his situation able to race in New York again.

During a his report: "The issue now is: is his remorse, good conduct hearing at the Board's offices in Schenectady, Lewis admits and apology sufficient to overcome his behavior and he became agitated and said it was because he was being berated by Board officials and that they repeatedly lied (continued on next page) about him during the hearing. He slammed his fist down on a glass table top and broke it. "Without any cause or reason his testimony and conduct was contemptuous and disrespectful," the hearing officer wrote in the 2014 report. "There was considerable shouting, foul language, name calling, the smashing of a glass table cover, attempted pushing and shoving, blocking exits from the hearing room, calls to 911..." "I slapped the table top and it broke," he admitted. "I lost my temper because (Commission Investigator Ellen All) lied and she tried to put me at fault. They said I threatened her by saying ‘I hope you die a horrible and cruel death.' Those words are wrong. What I actually said is ‘I hope you die as cruelly as you've lived.'" Those sort of words and that sort of behavior certainly aren't the best tactics to use when your at the mercy of the Racing Board and you want your license back. To the surprise of no one, Lewis's application was once again rejected. Rather than give up, Lewis only dug in. He went on a letter-writing campaign that includes complaints to Governor Cuomo, the Attorney General and others about the Racing and Wagering Board/Gaming Commission. Once again, he wasn't exactly making any friends within the Gaming Commission's offices in Schenectady. "They continued to hold that against me," Lewis said. "Every time I go to a hearing, they bring it up, my writing letters to the governor and the attorney general. That's my right. This is about my property rights.

Mosaique Face had to adjust his equipment. This was a similar delay that Bergh earlier said had gotten to Creatine two weeks ago, and misgivings arouse. “On the whole, Robert was satisfied with the race today. He found Creatine smoother and might have finished third”, said Creatine’s groom Therese Sjödin. Reflecting expectations, Maven was the early morning pick in 9 out of 20 newspapers today.
