Leading trainer at Parx banned for ten years

Juan Carlos Guerrero, the leading trainer at the current Parx Racing meet, has been banned by the track for 10 years after being charged with a misdemeanor count of “indecent assault without consent” stemming from an incident last month involving a female employee of the Bensalem, Pa., track.

The Philadelphia Daily News reported Thursday that Guerrero, 41, will seek a court injunction to continue operating his stable while filing an appeal that would result in a hearing before the Pennsylvania State Racing Commission.

Guerrero’s attorney, William Goldman Jr., told the Daily News in part: “He is being ejected based on the allegation . . . What they did was they decided to preemptively act and eject him from the track based upon that allegation. The matter will await a hearing in Harrisburg” before the commission.
