Trainer breached lease agreement by failing to pay rent and physically damaging the premise. After forcible detainer order was entered, Landlord sued to recover damages and summary judgment was granted over request for continuance. Tenant appealed. Court of Appeals affirmed monetary judgment against trainer (including attorneys’ fee recovery) and the discretion of the trial court as it relates to requests for continuance. Enforcement of the Judgment included an objection lodged with the Kentucky Racing Commission under the Financial Responsibility obligations of trainers.
