Since Borell is most likely to be considered a public figure, even if the allegations are false, she would be required to demonstrate Malice for a libel claim. That is a difficult and costly exercise- unless Matressman was calling in a favor and asked someone to make this stuff up. Not likely. The Kentucky lawsuit between McIngvale and Borellhas remained too quiet for too long. There was a flurry of motion practice immediately after the lawsuit started and nothing since. Likely settlement being discussed- this is a lose lose for the Kentucky horse racing business. Jerry is correct ( of course) when he says everyone should wait before judging. Many on this board- me included-were quick to throw the Matressman under the bus when she was fired. I agree- likely only bad guys here.
