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....

Wasn't there an article in DRF this past weekend (or the week before) stating he's never been suspended? Kiss of death....
