The Conscience of Thoroughbred Racing
Trainer Doug O’Neill has been suspended 60 days, fined $10,000, and put on probation for one year stemming from a lidocaine positive, a class 2 violation, by his starter Worse Read Sanchez (Square Eddie) at Golden Gate Fields on May 1.
Thirty days have been stayed for “good cause,” according to the California Horse Racing Board ruling. The suspension will begin NOV 21 and extend through DEC 20.
Our staff likes nothing better than to engage with the HRI Faithful and provide a forum for interaction on horseracing and sports. In that spirit, please be kind and reasonable; keep the language clean, and the tone civil. Comments from those who cannot comply will be deleted. Thank you.
