Juan Carlos Guerrero, leading trainer at Parx Racing near Philadelphia, Pa., has been charged by the Bensalem Township Police with indecent assault without consent as a result of an alleged incident at the Bensalem racetrack and casino Nov. 16.
According to a police spokesman, Guerrero allegedly “inappropriately touched” a female employee who works in an office at the racetrack, and the ensuing investigation provided enough details for police to file misdemeanor charges against Guerrero, who is married and the father of two daughters.
When contacted by the Paulick Report, Guerrero declined to discuss the incident or whether or not he has been asked by management of Parx Racing to vacate his stalls. “My lawyer is working on that as we speak,” Guerrero said. “As of right now, I am able to race here.”
Parx Racing director of security Lance Morell declined comment on whether any action has been initiated to exclude Guerrero from Parx Racing, referring inquiries to chief operating officer Joe Wilson, who did not return phone calls. Racing secretary Sal Sinatra could not be reached for comment.
Stewards said they have not been instructed to scratch any horses trained by Guerrero as of late Wednesday morning. He has one horse, Awestruck Girl, entered in the day’s third race.
Guerrero has horses entered through next Monday, but an employee of the racing office told the Paulick Report this morning, “We are not accepting any entries from Guerrero,” effective Tuesday, Dec. 27.
Guerrero, a 40-year-old native of Mexico City, Mex., is having his best year ever, with 145 wins from 475 starts and earnings of $3,380,915. He races primarily at Parx Racing, where he has approximately 50 stalls and has won 131 races from 381 starters, a 34% clip. In 2010, Guerrero won with 40% of his 290 starters, highest among all North American trainers with 100 or more starts. His stable star is Golden Mystery, who gave Guerrero his first runner in the Breeders’ Cup when she finished seventh in this year’ Filly & Mare Sprint.
