According to the article in the DRF, "An appeal will likely delay the onset of the decision until at least after the Breeders' Cup on Oct. 26 and Oct. 27 at Monmouth Park. If the suspension is upheld, Biancone will not be able to "financially benefit" from his stable while suspended, under new state regulations passed earlier this year in Kentucky." I'll have to read the other articles and the decision, but this makes me wonder whether he gets to collect any BC winnings if the suspension is upheld.

I don't think he should have been able to serve all his suspensions concurrently. He also received another 1-year suspension and a 90-day suspension. Even though his suspensions arise from the same restricted conduct, I think that should he should have been ordered to serve all his suspensions consecutively.

What a disgrace. And we wonder why drugs are a problem in horse racing.

Having vaccinations for the barn cats and horses, and unlabeled vials and bottles of routine horse meds doesn't bother me that much (the last is unfortunately very common). There is some interesting other stuff there.

But it doesn't hold a candle to trying to explain why you have cobra venom.

I read somewhere they use Cobra Venom in France as type of Viagra...maybe this is all an innocent mistake and it will all be cleared up in the appeals process...man let's hope so - we need the BConehead

Hey, no problem if I were a KY Steward, I would certainly allow Mr Biancone to prove that via demonstration to the whole KHRC

again the suspension is a complete and total joke to me. this was offered to me when i had my horse in minnesota for the summer a couple years ago. i was absolutely shocked and angered and the trainer said"im just giving you more options" of course i said no and sent my horse to the farm for the rest of the year but this stuff if alot more widespread than most would think. the slightest bit off and you can kill the horse

So ??? I'm sure Kee got it done as fast as they could. He's entitled to appeal. What matters to me is if he's at next year's BC.

I don't understand why folks are so appalled "he only got a year". Didn't anyone read, during the past month, what the various penalties "could" be for finding cobra venom in a tackroom? I'm glad he got the max under the rules.

I just hope other tracks honor it once it's done. I hope other tracks don't give him stalls.

And I'm glad Qasicobra finished out of the money today - otherwise I'd have to be convinced there isn't any justice at all, even from the karma gods.
