A Minnesota couple whose race horses have been among the most successful at Canterbury Park over the years is accused of defrauding 200 investors of nearly $18 million in an investment scam.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleges that Jason Bullard and his wife, Angela Romero-Bullard, of Shakopee, operated the Ponzi scheme from 2007 to 2021.
The Bullards own Empire Racing Stables LLC, a 24-horse operation that has been one of the top winners at Canterbury in recent years.
This year, the couple’s horses have won 23 races and collected $366,425 in purse earnings, ranking second among all owners, according to course officials.
Their stables shared the top spot in 2019 with 32 wins and earnings of $471,088.
