Hall of Famer Chuck Sylvester Says He Has No Idea Why His Horse Tested Saturday, July 25, 2015 Respected Trainer Chuck Sylvester Gets Cobalt Positive By Bill Finley Hall of Fame trainer Chuck Sylvester has been hit with a Cobalt positive in Pennsylvania after a horse he trained tested for an excess level of the banned substance. Sylvester has been handed a 15-day suspension and a $500 fine by the Pennsylvania Harness Commission. An even bigger problem Sebastian K To Stand at Stud in US for Sylvester could be his The fastest trotter in the world, Sebastian K will stand at status at the Jeff stud next year in the U.S, co-owner Tristan Sjoberg reports.

He also said the Hall of Famer Chuck Sylvester two horses Sylvester says he has no idea why his trains for him will be horse tested positive for Cobalt moved to a new barn. "This is a total shock to me and very disappointing," Gural said. The horse Murderers Row, a 3-year-old filly, tested positive for Cobalt after a June 16 race at Pocono in which she finished third. A week later she was second in a June 24 race at Chester and has not raced since. Sylvester said yesterday he did nothing wrong. "It was shocking to me," he said. "I have no idea how this happened. All I know is that I'm the trainer on record and that I'm going to get 15 days. That's all I can tell you. I am embarrassed that something like this happened and I have no idea why it happened. It's a horrible thing to have it happen to you. I know some people do get positives and they haven't done anything wrong. That's absolutely what happened to me." Ask anyone in the industry who is the least likely trainer to get a Cobalt positive and Sylvester would no doubt have topped many lists. He has only one other blemish on his record, a 2008 positive for the Class 4 drug Dexamethasone, for which he was fined $1,000. Sylvester is a 1997 inductee into the Hall of Fame and has trained the winners of four Hambletonians. | share story | THE MEADOWLANDS IS PROUD TO HOST THE OPENING LEG OF THE PACING TRIPLE CROWN $400,000E • Hambletonian Day • August 8 • 3YO Open Pace Sponsored by 2012 & 2013 Standardbred Breeder of the Year Breeder of 2013 Meadowlands Pace & 2013 Cane Pace Winner, Captaintreacherous whitebirchfarmnj.com 1 racetrack drive east rutherford, nj / LIVE RACING FRI & SAT 7:15 PM / PLAYMEADOWLANDS.COM HarnessRacingUpdate.com • 7/25/15 PAGE 2 of 12 broodmare stock that exists in North America is ideally Elitlopp Winner Will Spice Up Meadowlands suited to his outcross bloodline.

Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey President Tom Luchento Has Issued this Statement/Letter on the News That Showplace Farms Is Closing: It started with a four paragraph announcement, and it sent shockwaves through the racing industry in New Jersey. On July 23, 2015, Showplace Farms in Millstone, NJ announced that after 36 years in business, it would be closing its doors on October 1, 2015. Showplace is 140 acres of prime real estate on Route 33. When it opened nearly four decades ago, it reflected the health of the standardbred racing industry in New Jersey, thanks to the debut of the Meadowlands Racetrack in 1976. Showplace, home to more than 425 horses, was a new concept: a first-class training center with its own track, state-of-the-art barns, a swimming pool for rehabilitating horses, and fenced in pastures for grazing. It would be the inspiration for other training centers throughout Central New Jersey where horsemen would pay for the privilege to house their racehorses in pastoral Monmouth County rather than free stabling at the Meadowlands.
