Mullins/Gato Go Win SCR story emerging

[parsixfarms]

Seeing how this necessitated a scratch, I imagine that the stewards will have to fine and/or suspend him. And if Dunkirk were to draw in, his trainer would have a cloud over him due to the Wait a While positive at the Breeders' Cup. (Was there any ever resolution to that one?) Lovely timing for Waldrop and company.

I was just thinking about that - how serious an offense would this be? I'd expect in the heirarchy of offenses, it would be worse than getting caught after the fact. Would there be a chance if this proves true that Mullins would be suspended on May 2nd?

This could be very interesting, because you would think he would appeal, and delay any suspension to post Derby? But with all the rules changes and new testing policies, etc., etc, could they come down harder and quicker against him, and really make an example of him?
