This is the second time O’Neill has been cited for a TCO2 infraction this year. In April, his horse Stephen Got Hope tested for a high amount of TCO2 at the Illinois Derby at Hawthorne. After a delay, O’Neill eventually served a 15-day suspension, from June 30 until July 15, during the end of the summer season at Hollywood Park. During that time, O’Neill’s owners joined him in solidarity, and he did not start any horses in the name of his assistant, Leandro Mora.


Denial by the people who allow it to happen.

Interesting that his horses have so much trouble with passing TCO2 tests and in other cases actually staying alive.

Would you expect anything less from the people that employ him?
