The 6 mo SUSPENSION was handed down in August '22 and was originally going to run starting September 5, '22 to March 3, '23. It was appealed.
The POSITIVE leading to the suspension was Feb 23, 2022 - so we are coming up on a YEAR since the race in question, and still no resolution/suspension.
The wheels of horseracing justice turn EXTREMELY slowly in so many cases like this one. There are a number of suspensions hanging out there for a number of trainers, and it seems there always will be.
