A federal grand jury has issued new indictments against two part-owners of 2007 Horse of the Year Curlin.
Attorneys William Gallion and Shirley Cunningham Jr. are accused of defrauding clients of $94 million after winning a settlement from manufacturers of the diet drug fen-phen.
A jury couldn't reach a verdict against them in July during a trial on charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The new indictment charges the men with eight counts of wire fraud.
Cunningham's attorney, Steven Dobson, questioned whether Wednesday's indictment was a result of vindictiveness from prosecutors who failed to get a conviction.
The two defendants bought Curlin, winner of last year's Preakness, in 2004 before selling an 80 percent interest.
