    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The action by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York follows an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division. Investigators found that Danny Gargan and Gargan Stables Corp. paid certain employees at the racetracks, stables and other locations a fee per horse handled and not per hour as stated in their payroll records. In addition to shortchanging workers' hours and unlawfully denying them overtime when they worked more than 40 hours in a workweek, the division determined the employer falsified payroll records to give the appearance that employees were paid by the hour when they were not. The court affirmed the department's assessment of $37,368 in civil money penalties for willful wage theft and for falsifying records in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act."]]></description>

Churchill Downs’ 13-member team of valets ― the workers who prepare horses and jockeys for each race ― have been working without a contract since last fall, and have yet to reach a new agreement with the billion-dollar company that owns the racecourse."]]></description>

'Some of them are dangerous,' she added. 'It's dangerous enough being out there anyway without some of these other riders that are out there. And there aren't any [riders] to replace them.' The dangers aren't restricted to humans. There's also the cyclical wear-and-tear that bad or inexperienced riders can inflict – the uneven grind on joints from a horse that hangs, or the heavy load on the front legs from an iron-mouthed run-off. The sorts of things that pre-dispose horses to catastrophic injury."

Also: "Little admitted that she had steered her own children away from a possible career in racing. 'I just didn't want them to have this life,' she said. 'It's seven days a week, and there's no getting ahead.'"]]></description>

Past that rail and into the public eye, grooms become faceless and voiceless appendages to a bucket and a shank. No - more, maybe even less.  Never mind that they spend the most time with the horse, become familiar with his or her personalities, are the first to know when a horse is off its feed, detect before a vet or trainer if something is wrong, and yes, in the vast majority of cases, bond with and even love the horses under their care. They are, in short, virtually invisible to the public and the sport, speaking a different language, and working and living together on the backsides of racetracks, remaining mute to the outside world."]]></description>

Another issue that some archivists and librarians are facing is having to use their PTO if they have to quarantine or hope other workers will donate their time to them. Part-time, hourly, and contract workers might not have adequate sick leave, either. Finally, even workers that can work from home might not be able to if they have to care for their children if schools close."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["A common trope among industry insiders to deflect public skepticism is that 'we love our horses.' As with any generality, there are elements of truth in that sentiment but, as with any generality, it is not universally true. Recent developments from New York will cause outside observers to question that commitment when top level figures in the sport do not even treat humans with respect and dignity — let alone meet legal obligations."  ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The federal government rejected Pletcher's request for 50 H-2B visas, a critical part of the workforce he employs to care for the 100 thoroughbreds he brings to Saratoga Springs every year. The rejection came after the number of applications for H-2B visas far exceeded the federal cap, leaving hundreds of employers without staff to perform jobs that few Americans want. It is a problem that is impacting hotel operators, landscapers and the horse racing industry. For the handful of horse trainers who missed out, it could be a blow to thoroughbred racing."]]></description>

That means that the horse industry cannot rely on its usual stream of workers who arrive in Kentucky on migrant worker visas and must turn to developing a new entry-level talent pool in its own backyard."]]></description>

Rooms are often shared, and many are squalid, with mattresses or pallets on the floor, some with punched-out windows covered by cardboard. The workers asked not to be named because they feared reprisal for criticizing the facility, which is state-owned and operated by the racing association."

It wasn't Ahmed Zayat who polished his reflection into American Pharoah's coat every day using little more than elbow grease and determination. It wasn't Victor Espinoza who, while the rest of the world had on its dancing shoes, stayed behind at the barn to make sure all was shipshape with the champ before lights-out every night. Rather, it was groom Eduardo Luna who assiduously performed these and a long laundry list of daily chores that kept American Pharoah hale, hearty and photo-ready throughout his racing career. And yet, how often did Luna's name appear in the acres of ink devoted to last year's Triple Crown winner? Every now and then, but far too infrequently is the shameful answer (and I'm a guilty party)." [From 2016]]]></description>

2. The raids have left restaurants short staffed and farms unmanned, but mysteriously spared undocumented workers at the race track, according to the Times-Union. Still, renowned trainer Gary Contessa told Newsweek that his workers are fearful, even though they are in the country legally ...]]></description>

As of last year, the top 20 percent of trainers annexed just under 86 percent of the purses. In 2007, they netted 86.7 percent of total earnings."]]></description>

2. "Jesus Escalante Martinez said there was concern on the other side of the border, too. A 20-year veteran of the Rhone stable, his P-1 visa — reserved for professional athletes — assured he could work at Canterbury as an exercise rider this season. But his son Alejandro is among many co-workers who needed an H-2B visa, and they had some anxious moments while waiting for their documents to be approved."

3. "Trainers and grooms said there are few undocumented workers at Canterbury Park. The track has a reputation for tough enforcement of immigration law — earned in part by raids conducted during its early years — and Minnesota’s licensing requirements for track workers are considered strict. Applicants are fingerprinted and must undergo criminal background checks."

4. "Trainers are in survival mode right now. Without a workable visa program, it’s going to challenge their ability to stay in business."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Baldemar Bahena's journey toward the American dream started as a teenager on the backside of tracks. When he left Mexico on a visa, he spoke a little English but had a knack with horses.

More than 30 years later, Bahena oversees dozens of workers as Romans' top assistant. Bahena and his wife became U.S. citizens and they settled into a four-bedroom home in Louisville. Their two teenage children are college bound.

"He's a great American success story," Romans said of his friend.

But Bahena, 49, worries the door of opportunity may be closing behind him for other immigrant workers toiling at racetracks in search of a better life for their families.

"They're good people," he said. "They're working hard all the time. They're kind of scared."

Bahena voted for Trump because of the Republican's business background, and said he holds out hope the new president will make things better.

"I tell everybody, just chill out a little bit and I think in another year or something, it'll be all right," he said. "I think he's going to change his mind because he's a real, real good businessman, and he's going to figure it out that these people are good people."]]></description>

No one at the track could recall a raid or any other enforcement action related to immigration on the grounds themselves, but all agreed the threat is increasingly acute as they prepare for the sport’s marquee race. Trainers say they would prefer to hire legally, but faced with a deficit of American applicants or legal visa-holders, they have no choice but to accept people willing to work jobs that require long hours and pay between $10 and $15 an hour."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["When it comes to its workforce, American horse racing could be galloping towards a crisis. A visa program that serves the racing industry poorly plus a dearth of US employees willing to do the sport’s grunt work – the grooming, the exercise-riding and the hot-walking of racehorses – has long left racing heavily reliant upon undocumented workers from Mexico and elsewhere in Central and South America. But now, the recent spate of raids by immigration agents and threats to pull federal funding to sanctuary cities has many US racetracks and horse-farms rattled."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Neither Waldrop nor Hamelback could cite a ballpark number of H-2B workers that have traditionally been covered by the exemption. “I don’t have that number,” Waldrop said. “All I know is that trainers say that a large number of their employees that they hire are eligible for the H-2B program. What we don’t know is how many are here under the program, and how many are here without documentation. And frankly, that’s just not something that people talk a lot about.”]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Like many in the horse industry, Stewart relies on foreign workers, usually here through the federal H-2B visa program, to take care of his horses. But the guest worker program is capped at 66,000 non-agricultural unskilled workers a year for all sectors nationally. For fiscal year 2011, which began in October, more than 35,600 petitions for spots have already been filed. The number of applications routinely bumps up against the number allowed, leaving employers scrambling for labor sources."]]></description>
