The Indiana Horse Racing Commission has initiated an administrative action against trainer Tom Amoss that could result in a 60-day suspension and $5,000 fine.
According to an amended administrative complaint filed Feb. 24, a positive test for the Class 4 drug methocarbamol in the Amoss-trained Hero Heart (http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/thoroughbred/hero-heart/2008?source=BHonline) at Hoosier Park on Oct. 21, 2011, was the trainer’s fourth violation within a 365-day period.
This article is impossible to get through as it drills down to the minutia of split samples, etc.
I wonder if one of these cases will really have the bite necessary to deter others. Not likely....
