Case Can Drive In Massachusetts

Published: November 19, 2008 03:05 pm EST

According to a report, controversial and ultra-talented driver Walter Case, Jr. has been granted a license in the state of Massachusetts.

Case has been listed to drive in Races 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 on Plainridge Racecourse's card of live racing scheduled for Friday, November 21.

Stan Bergstein of Harness Tracks of America broke the news in today's edition of the HTA daily newsletter. He stated that officials in Massachusetts have signed off on approving Case's return. "He has applied for his racing license and has received it," Bergstein wrote, "and USTA is being provided with copies of all pertinent papers tomorrow morning."

In September 2004, Case pleaded guilty to stabbing his estranged wife in the back with a steak knife during an incident that started at the couple's home on June 22. Case was released in October due to good behaviour.
