Levine ordered to start ban this month
By Matt Hegarty The New Jersey Racing Commission has denied a stay requested by Bruce Levine and has ordered the trainer to begin serving a 15-day suspension on May 22, the first day of the Monmouth Park meeting. The commission issued the 15-day suspension after a horse trained by Levine named Trillian tested positive for excessive levels of phenylbutazone, a popular painkiller, after winning the 10th race at Monmouth on July 4, 2008, nearly two years ago. Phenylbutazone is typically administered to horses within several days of a race, and most racing commissions allow the drug to be present in postrace samples up to a certain level.
