This sucks for the trainer and jock. They miss out on $100k each (if they get the normal 10%). Wilko got moved up to 2nd. Wilko has got to be one of the richest horses on the planet that has only won 1 Graded race.
Total bull****.. No N.A. connections should EVER go there again...

And FYI, Buff Bradley owns Brass Hat with his father Fred, so the loss is a lot more than a standard trainer's 10%... Willie Martinez gets screwed out of $120,000.. The grooms and stablehands all were getting nice bonuses too from the Bradley's... Just hideous.

Instead, Susan Roy and Paul Reddam get the money. Disgusting.

Yeah it sucks. $120k to Willie is a good chunck of change. This just hurts everyone involved in the horse that day.

Ya know, I'm all for stringing up any and all cheaters, and would be happy to volunteer for the job, but this really sucks.

Funny how the Sheik's horses never fail tests for the big races over there yet are invariably too infirm to compete much of the rest of the year.

I guess it could have been worse, had Willie Martinez given a smarter ride, and not put him into a drive at the 3/8s pole, he may well have been DQ'd out of the whole pot.

Some consolation.
