O’Callaghan satisfies stewards regarding debt

ARCADIA, Calif. – Trainer Carl O’Callaghan, suspended by Santa Anita stewards on Sunday for failing to appear at a hearing regarding an unpaid debt, was restored to good standing on Thursday after he reached a financial agreement with the backstretch supply company Angel’s Feed.

According to a ruling issued by stewards Scott Chaney, Kim Sawyer and Tom Ward on Thursday, the original decision was set aside, ending the suspension. O’Callaghan provided proof of an agreement with Angel’s Feed and a copy of the first in a series of payments, stewards said.

O’Callaghan, who won the $2 million Golden Shaheen in Dubai in 2010 with Kinsale King, owed Angel’s Feed $10,962.94, according to the initial ruling.

O’Callaghan, 39, is based at Canterbury Park this summer. His stable raced at Turf Paradise earlier this year. He has not had a runner in Southern California since April.
