The Indiana Horse Racing Commission has recommended that trainer Tom Amoss be suspended for 60 days and fined $5,000 after a horse he trained tested positive for methocarbomol after running in a race at Hoosier Park on Oct. 21, the third time that one of the trainer’s horses tested positive for the drug in a span of 15 days last fall. Attorneys for Amoss have asked that the case against the trainer in Indiana be dismissed, citing procedural violations, according to Maggi Moss, one of the attorneys. Moss, an owner who has horses with Amoss, also said that guidelines requiring harsh penalties for trainers whose horses test positive for prohibited medications three times in a 12-month period should not apply in the case, saying that Amoss was unaware at the time the horse raced that other horses under his care had tested positive for the drug in Kentucky.
