Gill said on Monday that he planned to get out of sport betting in the wake of the controversy that stemmed from two of his horses breaking down at Penn National, but he still planned to race horses at the track this week. While Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw and Bart Starr were among the top players on their teams when they won the Super Bowl and were awarded the Pete Rozelle MVP trophy, Otis Anderson, Larry Brown, Desmond Howard and Dexter Jackson rose to the occasion to achieve Super Bowl MVP immortality.
Gill met at length Saturday at Penn with officials and veterinarians from the track to address the sports bets situation that existed since the breakdown of Laughing Moon on Jan. 23. Gill said he was informed at the Saturday meeting that necropsies ordered by the track for Laughing Moon and for Melodeeman, who also suffered a catastrophic breakdown Jan. 21 at Penn, uncovered no wrongdoing.
