@johnracinggbrx@SwifttKirk Ahh, yes, you (and Ed) are correct. I forgot. Post race blood and urine samples were clear and hair samples taken in the following days and labeled as out of competition testing were positive for Albuterol.
@johnracinggbrx@SwifttKirk He is suspended because they did a post race sample on a horse breezing for the state vet that tested positive for albuterol (Bonita Rough). Also, two of his horses that won on August 9th later tested positive for Albuterol (Scootaloo and Tepeyac).
@johnracinggbrx@StableGeniustm One horse that ran at Monmouth (Tepeyac) and one from Saratoga (Scootaloo) tested positive for Albuterol. Fear not~entries coming soon at Gulfstream Park
@johnracinggbrx@SwifttKirk Not clean. Scootaloo tested positive for Albuterol post race. He was already going to be suspended for another positive (Bonita Rough~another Albuterol). Fear not, his girlfriend got stalls at Gulfstream Park, so nothing will change
In true Gulfstream Park fashion, they have given stalls to Angel Quiroz. Now they have Ochoa, Quiroz, and Vitali~ Maria Borell should just head on down…
@StableGeniustm Totally agree, but that was his first race in almost 7 months so, yeah, maybe a tune up, but if any one in there was running, he doesn’t win, he was just much the best.
@Hinesite@netkeiba I did not think he looked great in the stretch~didn’t change leads, drifting. Jock was riding him since the 1/2mile pole. He hasn’t run in almost 7 months, so maybe just got a little tired. He’s a warrior for sure
@twoeight_racing@SwifttKirk Yes~that’s why I said you have a good circle. Found people you could trust. It’s the difference between a great experience and a bad experience. I wish ICON racing all the best. New owners need honesty and integrity, you give me some hope for the future of the sport.
@twoeight_racing@SwifttKirk Not against Marshawn either. We’ve watched this happen repeatedly. New guy comes in with money to spend, blood stock agents converge en masse, relieve guy of millions, and the guy gets out. Watch what goes on at these sales.
@SwifttKirk Got kicked out of GP. He said he went back to a barn (with security cameras) to treat a horse that was having a heat stroke. Even entered “treatment” in HISA, but cameras showed he never went back to treat the horse. The horse subsequently died.
