I don't know another instance of it happening ever...the penalties were harsh. Horse suspended from racing for life and owner/trainer ruled off the turf for life.

Some of the suspensions were crazy. They would publish a list for every owner, trainer, jockey, horse, and stable employee who got suspended.
