Trainer Karl Broberg, who was fined $20,000 in a mistaken horse identity case in Oklahoma, said on Wednesday he has paid the fine. Broberg had been debating whether to appeal a ruling handed down Tuesday by the Remington Park board of stewards. The case involved two races in September at Remington.
"I just went ahead and reluctantly paid the fine this morning," Broberg said Wednesday. "It wasn’t worth the fight and it wasn’t worth being talked about anymore."
