HARRISBURG, PA (AP) -- Seven of nine defendants accused of fixing more than a dozen horse races at Penn National have agreed to plead guilty, a federal prosecutor said November 30. The two horse owners and five jockeys could receive as much as five years in jail and $250,000 in fines each, said U.S. Attorney David M. Barasch. The defendants agreed to plead guilty to charges of conspiracy to fix a sporting event in papers filed in U.S. District Court. Authorities said horse owners George D. Berryhill and Neil McElwee paid bribes of as much as $1,000 to the jockeys, who were told to hold back favored horses. |
Jockey
Ramon Pena acted as the middleman in the scheme, prosecutors said.
Fifteen races between January and May were targeted, they said.
Jockey Felix Pinero is scheduled for a trial in January after pleading innocent. Another jockey, Manuel F. Torres, was declared a fugitive after failing to appear in court. The track is owned by Penn National Gaming Inc., which also owns the Pocono Downs harness racing track near Wilkes-Barre, 11 off-track betting facilities and Charles Town Races in West Virginia. The company also has two casinos in Mississippi and has agreed to buy a Louisiana riverboat casino. |
