Gabapentin is the drug that Manchego had in her when she got disqualified at Scioto in 2019. That decision was later overturned as levels were proved to be under the threshold but apparently it's used often in racehorses. I've seen a bunch of other fines, suspensions etc for it.
True. But even at high levels the drug does not work immediately, its a build up. It takes time to work and has to take effect over time.
In a recent study it was determined that Gabapentin does NOT provide any therapeutic or neurological effects to the equine athlete. If I remember correctly, the study was commissioned by a rash of positives in Kentucky. It should pop right up if you Google it!
Doctor’s prescribed gabapentin for the excruciating pain my wife suffered from shingles.
That is correct, there is reciprocity between the states and Canada. When he finally takes his days, you won't see his name down anywhere. I can tell you from a previous personal experience. Just like Greg Peck. If his stable in NJ is licensed he won't be able to step foot on the property. Believe me.
Most states have signed reciprocity agreements. NJ is not 1 of them. They were always afraid a big barn would take their suspension in the winter causing short fields at their prime handle time. Tony O’Sullivan raced every night at Mohawk when he finally took his days in NJ for killing Cashmire Cammotion
XXZ,Your are erroneous incorrect. T.A. will absolutely be suspended in KY and every other state. It’s reciprocal suspension.
There is not one state that doesn't do reciprocating suspension. Find one example. The Baffert example isn't a state racing commission suspension it is a Churchill Downs suspension. That is why he is racing in other states. Canada also will have him suspended.
