Dutrow will almost certainly appeal and seek a stay of the ruling, which does not become effective until Oct. 18.

So does KY follow suit? His chances for winning appeal are slim and none, and none isn't entered. Anybody that didn't see this one coming from a long ways back, missed the boat.

Hooray !!!!!.....

There are lots of guys that have the similar records but probably none have stuck their foot in their mouths as much as he has. Having said that I think the punishment is too harsh and I think that he should fight it.

I don't trust the racing officials who do collect the samples or the labs that do the testing. In Mullins case there was a lot of shady stuff done on the part of the CHRB. This article is a good read. I can't believe that California is the only place this stuff goes on.

Frank Moore, chief of the CHRB's investigation unit from November 2000 until his retirement in February 2007, supports Mullins' contention that he was being pursued by Fermin.

"The truth is we were targeting Jeff Mullins; he was one of several trainers," Moore said. "We were concentrating on him. We had his barn under surveillance. We stationed investigators there."

Barn searches, he said, were routine and the horses of certain trainers, including Mullins, were subject to out-of-competition testing for blood doping.

A document obtained by The Blood-Horse of an email message from Fermin lists Mullins as one of five trainers whose horses' blood samples were to be retained and frozen for future testing. The UC Davis lab keeps hundreds of such samples in storage so they can be tested again as new substances are identified.

Moore said it was an odd time to be a CHRB investigator. Fermin, he noted, came into office promising to clean up drug cheating. Her predecessor, Roy C. Wood, had been criticized by some for settling on the side of leniency with trainers found responsible for medication violations.

"Mullins was winning at the time and if you were winning at a high percentage, you were presumed to be cheating," Moore said. "The investigator's job was to find out how."

Mullins' objection to his treatment begins with the 2006 case involving Robs Coin, an Idaho-bred claiming horse he took for $32,000 on behalf of owner Darren Carraway. Robs Coin finished second in a $40,000 claiming race at Hollywood Park July 8, 2006 and was randomly selected for post-race testing.

Analysis of the urine sample done by the equine testing laboratory at the University of California-Davis resulted in a positive finding for mepivacaine, a local anesthetic commonly used for suturing after routine veterinary procedures. Mullins vigorously protested his innocence in the case, saying the horse was perfectly sound and would not have required mepivacaine for any purpose.

Jerald Mosely, the deputy attorney general prosecuting the case, did not submit the results of a report from Dr. Gus Cothran, a DNA expert from Texas A&M University, according to the report of the administrative law judge. Cothran, who was acting in response to a request from Mosely, compared the original urine sample tested by UC-Davis to urine, blood and hair samples taken from Robs Coin.

According to his affidavit at the time, "the original urine sample (found to contain mepivacaine) was contaminated with the presence of more than one horse."

Should have been banned for life.

So should the other trainers who consistently ignore the rules.

Nobody has the right to be licensed if they do not obey the rules.

In all fairness Andy, we have all been down this road already. Did they target Dutrow, as you claim via the Mullins info? Mullins did enough to warrant the target. He was not chosen out of a pillbox ala the draw. Same goes for our beloved Dickey "Babe" Dutrow.

Mullins was targeted as soon as he got here. Racing Officials should be even handed and fair. That isn't the case in California.

This is why he is training under the name Rudy Rodriquez
