Chuck Borell has been charged with animal cruelty in the case of 43 abandoned Thoroughbreds on a farm in Mercer County in central Kentucky, and his daughter, trainer Maria Borell, will also face charges. Stephen Curry Panthers Jersey .Chuck Borell, who leased the farm and was the principal caregiver of the horses, was arrested by county sheriffs Wednesday when he showed up at the farm. There is an outstanding warrant for the arrest of Maria Borell, who trained Runhappy to win last years Breeders Cup Sprint, but the state does not know her whereabouts. She reportedly owns some of the horses that had been abandoned and had been entrusted with the care of other horses at the farm by their owners.Chuck Borell is awaiting arraignment in Mercer County, which is about 30 miles southwest of Lexington, but the hearing was not yet on the docket of the court early Thursday afternoon, according to the county attorney, Ted Dean. It may take up to a week before he is arraigned and bail set.The charges of animal cruelty were brought by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, and they are a Class A misdemeanor. The maximum penalty is up to one year incarceration. Monetary damages could be levied at the discretion of the court.As for Maria Borell, the state has not been able to serve her with the charges. Some reports have her in New York; when asked if she could be extradited if found, Shane Mitchell, the lead investigator on the case for the Kentucky Department of Agriculture said, In the vast majority of times, these are misdemeanor warrants, in cruelty to animals, second-degree misdemeanors, and in all likelihood, the extradition probably wouldnt happen unless we found room and we could speak to the courts about getting something done.Maria Borell, who grew up in Syracuse, New York, was fired the day after the BC Sprint by Runhappys owner, Jim McIngvale, in a dispute. There is still litigation in that case pending, with Borell claiming she is owed a percentage of the horses earnings and McIngvale maintaining that his contract with her paid her a monthly stipend and specifically did not include a trainers winning percentage of purses.Efforts to reach Maria Borell have not been successful, and her cellphone number is now out of service.As the criminal prosecution process moves forward, the vast majority of the horses will remain at the farm while ownership of the horses is being determined. The state is working with the Mercer County attorneys office to sort through the issue of ownership, and Mitchell said, Because of the scope of the case, it turns into a pretty big job trying to ascertain which horses belong to whom. Were working with the county attorneys office and showing Mr. Dean what evidence we have of ownership and letting Mr. Dean make the determination of ownership.One fear is someone claiming they own a horse and them not being the owner.Six of the horses deemed to be in the worst shape were moved off the farm Tuesday and sent to the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundations facility at Blackburn Correctional Complex near Lexington. The other 37 horses remain at the farm.The horses were judged by the state as having been abandoned in May, and the state has been monitoring the situation since June 3, when officials first became aware of the problem. Chuck Borell had leased the property for only about a month before the horses were abandoned, according to Mitchell, having moved from another farm he had leased. Volunteers have been helping to take care of the horses since then, and crowd-funding on social media has raised more than $20,000 to help pay for their care.Rusty Ford, spokesman for the office of the state veterinarian, said the 43 horses were examined Monday by a team of veterinarians, and they categorized the horses as follows: Three were severely underweight, 10 were underweight, 14 were of suitable weight, eight 8 were overweight, and eight were of proper weight. None is in a life-threatening situation. Taylor Moton Panthers Jersey .

But in the case of Olympic marketing, smaller brands are finding it tough to prevail amid strict rules.Sponsors such as Visa, Samsung and Coca-Cola pay hundreds of millions of dollars to be associated with the Olympics. So the International Olympic Committee cracks down on non-sponsoring brands that reference the Olympics by name or use Olympic logos in tweets or advertisement.This extends to athletes who tweet about non-Olympic commercial partners -- brands that sponsor the individuals but dont pay the IOC or a national Olympic committee itself to be an official Olympic sponsor. The IOC can punish athletes for rule violations by disqualifying them from events and even stripping them of medals.But in the age of Twitter and Facebook, its difficult to clamp down entirely on messaging. The IOC tried to relax the rules this year to make it easier for non-Olympic brands to advertise. Some brands took advantage of that, but others were left frustrated by the hoops they had to jump through to qualify.Long in place, the Olympic Charters Rule 40 limits athletes, coaches and other participants from appearing in advertising and other marketing, including social media posts, without the IOCs permission. Participants are also forbidden from wearing clothing with logos of non-Olympic brands.Although the blackout period covers just one month -- from July 27 to Aug. 24 for the Rio Olympics -- its a crucial window for many brands because for many athletes, this is the only time they have the worlds attention.Theres a long list of words that advertisers cant use, ranging from obvious ones like Olympics to seemingly benign ones like effort or performance, depending on context. The IOC says the rules are in place to protect its sponsors investment and prevent over commercialization.Frustrated by their inability to mention their sponsors, dozens of athletes launched a Twitter campaign during the 2012 London Olympics to urge an end to the rule. In an attempt to address the problem, the IOC modified the rules to let brands apply for an exception.This year, brands could feature Olympic athletes in ads as long as they applied for a waiver, avoided certain words or logos and started their campaigns by March. IOC spokesman Benjamin Seeley said in an emailed statement that about 1,000 bbrands applied and were approved. Daeshon Hall Panthers Jersey. Under Armour and Gatorade, for instance, came out with ads featuring swimmer Michael Phelps and tennis champ Serena Williams , among others, even though neither is an official Olympic sponsor.But many smaller brands found the changes unfeasible. Unless an athlete is a superstar like runner Usain Bolt, its hard to know in January whether an athlete will become an Olympian. And because the ad campaigns have to run continuously beginning in March, many smaller companies couldnt participate with their limited ad budgets.At first the waiver process did seem like a viable option, but when we started going down that path, we realized ... its hard to do that in a generic, approvable way, said Jesse Williams, senior global sports marketing manager at Brooks Running, which sponsors eight Olympic athletes around the world, including U.S. runner Desiree Linden and decathlete Jeremy Taiwo.The relaxed Rule 40 rules only benefit brand name athletes, said Christopher Chase, a partner in the law firm Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz. If youre a (lesser known) Olympic rower or shot putter, its a great time to thank sponsors, and they cant do it.To protest the rule, Brooks created a guerrilla marketing campaign -- anonymously at first, until The Wall Street Journal identified the company by tracing internet-registration records. The protest site offers downloadable bright yellow signs that carry such messages as good luck, you know who you are, on making it you know where.Williams said that even though the campaign isnt anonymous anymore, the media attention it has gotten has been good.Its cool to see a movement or conversation starting, he said. We really hope to continue to help fuel that. Another athletic apparel brand, Oiselle, got in trouble after it congratulated a runner it sponsors, Kate Grace, on becoming an Olympian and going to Rio on an Instagram post after a qualifying event. The U.S. Olympic Committee demanded that Oiselle remove the social media and blog content because it violates Olympic trademarks.The Seattle company complied, but CEO Sally Bergesen complained on the companys blog that for smaller brands, it reduces the benefits of participation in the program to a practically nonexistent level.
