  • Horse Racing That Ultimately Rewards Those Who Seek Any Means, Legal and Otherwise, to Get an Edge
    NEW YORK TIMES November 5, 2009 Barred for Drugs, Horse Trainers Return to Track By JOE DRAPE ARCADIA, Calif. — In 2007, Kentucky racing officials found cobra venom, a powerful painkiller, in the barn of Patrick Biancone, a horse trainer with prestigious victories from Hong Kong to France. He was barred from the sport for a year. Steve Asmussen, the nation’s leading trainer, served a six-month suspension in 2006 after one of his horses failed a drug test in Louisiana, and is appealing another six-month suspension handed down in Texas for another medication viola- tion. Both, however, will saddle horses in the Breeders’ Cup, which begins Friday here at Santa Anita Park and will bring together horses from around the globe to compete in 14 races worth more than $25.5 million in purse money. Biancone and Asmussen are not alone: more than a half-dozen other trainers with multiple and serious drug violations will have contenders in the starting gate of one of thoroughbred racing’s greatest events. In fact, of the top 10 American-based trainers in purse winnings this year, only one, Christophe Clement, has never been cited for a medication violation, according to industry records. “Ten years ago, you were embarrassed to get a medication suspension,” said Clement, whose Gio Ponti will compete in the $5 million Classic. “Now trainers get suspended and go away, and when they come back they get more horses and more owners than they had before they left.” It is part of an evolving culture in horse racing that ultimately rewards those who seek any means, legal and otherwise, to get an edge.
