Francis DiAmario, the starter at Charles Town Races, got fined $1,000 by that track's stewards for sending away the field in the seventh race on Wednesday with one entrant left back behind the gate.Medallion of Ash (Medallist) was 90-1 in the betting and had yet to step into the outermost stall of a two-turn 6 1/2 -furlong race that started in front of the stands when DiAmario, 65, sprung the latch.Track announcer Paul Espinosa Jr. immediately alerted bettors to the situation at the start of his race call, and the stewards declared Medallion of Ash a non-starter after the remaining eight runners in the NW2L allowance for state-bred fillies and mares crossed the wire.The ruling, issued Friday morning, stated that “all money wagered on her was refunded.”DiAmario waived his right to a hearing before the stewards issued the ruling, which lists his fine as having been paid.The post Charles Town Starter Fined $1,000 for Leaving 90-1 Filly Behind the Gate appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
