"The California Horse Racing Board on Tuesday filed a complaint against trainer William Morey alleging violation of CHRB Rules 1843.5 (i) and 1629 pursuant to Rule 1887.
The complaint further alleges that Morey's assistant trainer administered a substance containing an alkalinizing agent via a dose syringe to two horses that were entered to race at Santa Anita Park that same day, March 29, 2019.
Alkalinizing agents can raise the TCO2 levels of horses, which may reduce lactic acid buildup and prevent muscle fatigue.
[b]March 29 was the first day of racing at Santa Anita since March 3 after track officials ordered a self-imposed hiatus[/b] due to a spike in equine fatalities during racing and training since the meet's opening day on Dec. 26.."
At least this is a start. Unbelievable that his barn would do such a stupid thing the very first day back after the track was closed.
