'The Kentucky Horse Racing Authority will issue the ruling on Wednesday, suspend Dutrow for 15 days and demand the horse’s owner to return the $20,000 in purse earnings.'
'Veitch said the 15-day suspension and return of the purse money was the penalty for a first offense, according to Kentucky rules.'
but it's not his first offense, and not his first clenbuterol overage--is this his first in kentucky? and even if it is....well, let's revisit jeremy rose's six month suspension for a moment. he's off in delaware for six months, but they concede it's essentially a six month nationwide ban due to reciprocity between the states.
so why is there no reciprocity for things like this??
