Trainer Donna Wormser was fined $1,000 and suspended for 30 days by the State Racing and Wagering Board after her horse Star for a Day tested positive for Clenbuterol winning 11th race at Saratoga on Travers Day, Aug. 25. Star for a Day paid $57.50, was part of a pick 4 that returned $1,025 with favorites winning the other three legs. Wormser has been granted a stay on appeal.

So a $20 bet on the winner would take care of the fine. A $100 bet would make the 30 days time-out a lot less painful.
