Horses race at the 142nd Preakness Stakes horse race at Pimlico race course in Baltimore on May 20, 2017.
The California Horse Racing Board issued a complaint against trainer William Morey on Tuesday, alleging that his assistant trainer gave three horses a substance containing an alkalinizing agent on March 29. The practice is often referred to as milkshaking and is believed to give a horse a performance boost.Morey has not been able to enter any of his horses at either Santa Anita or Golden Gate Fields since the incident was discovered more than two weeks ago.
Santa Anita recently instituted medical and drug protocols in order to boost public confidence in the sport after the death of 23 horses at the track since Dec. 26. Belinda Stronach, president and chief executive of The Stronach Group, announced sweeping medication reforms a couple of weeks ago. It was her desire to eventually eliminate race-day medication. The changes did not affect milkshaking, which has been illegal for a long time.The best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond.
