Does anyone remember Frank Passero Jr. at Gulfstream Park, used to use the horrendous J Bracho as his jock, made huge drops to win claiming races, totally disrupted betting unless you wanted to be a bridgejumper and was accused of using Vicks vapor rub on a horse's genitalia. You wouldn't call him a good trainer by any means despite a great winning %.

I don't think they had HGH back then...and having bigger balls I don't think would make a horse run faster.

Obviously. He's got Frank pitching a tent every time he saunters past him.

He used to work for Pletcher. His dad is known in political circles; the father was an elected official in the NOLA area and is now a political analyst in D.C. He also has connections to Louie Roussel.

Must not be too serious of positives. He only gets 30 days for 5 of them.

well, i know they have classes of drugs, so this one must be a three. but it's not just 30 days and the fine, but the purses go away as well. i guess his trainer stats change as well? besides, 30 days is not a slap on the wrist.

Keep giving penalties like 30 days for 5 positives and allow the horses to run under a different trainers name during the suspension and things like this will never go away. There really is no strong deterrent to not try to take an edge and maybe push the envelope.

I know it involves different jurisdictions, but something isn't right when you compare some of the punishments meted out to trainers with the one-year suspension that Donnie Meche received for not giving his best effort aboard a Steve Asmussen trained 3-5 favorite in a futurity trial at Delta Downs.

it would be nice if they could find a way to do that. but those who won on the canani horses might not agree, as they wouldn't want to give their winnings back.

It's a sickening situation. If they keep samples I'd love to see and independent lab come in and do tests.
