An embarrassment? Were you looking for capital punishment?

Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford said the steroid injections given to 15 Godolphin horses was part of a regimen that now-sullied trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni followed while he was in Dubai.

What a guy.

MAHMOOD AL ZAROONI filled five unmarked syringes with an illegal anabolic steroid, took them by car to his Newmarket stable and passed them through the window to an assistant with instructions to dope five horses.


Al Zarooni had written the names of the five horses on a list that he handed through his car window with the syringes to an unqualified veterinary assistant, Sharif Mahboob. At no time did Al Zarooni seek advice from his team of vets or record the injections in the medication record.

I am over here in the UK and the opinion in the papers is that he was thrown under the bus by his bosses and the UK racing establishment. The opinion here is that e was not the master mind and UK racing is so dependent on the Dubai connections that there is no way they would investigate properly for risk of having them pull the plug and down the drain it would all go.

Designated fall guy. He knew it going in and was ready to take his licks and move on. You can be sure he's set up for life though.

03 May 2013

(excerpt):
The BHA drug testers on Thursday turned their attention to Saeed Bin Suroor's Stanley House stables in Newmarket as the crisis that has rocked Godolphin and British racing took an unexpected new twist.

"Confirmation that a race title at Leicester on Mon 20th May remains 'British Stallion Studs Supporting British Racing EBF Maiden Stakes'

"The proposed title of 'EBF Welcome Back Frankie Maiden Stakes' was never authorised by BHA & was not deemed appropriate."


the original/official name of the race is hilarious!

there's strict, no tolerance... and then there's ridiculous.
