Feed company cleared of contamination; trainer fined and placed on probation for positive drug test.
Masterfeeds appealed a ruling regarding a positive test for Ractopamine in a horse trained by Robert Earl Barnett.
The Ontario Racing Commission allowed the appeal as it pertained to Masterfeeds, declaring its feed products were not the source of the contamination.
Following a pre-hearing conference, Barnett and the ORC Administration agreed to a joint submission on penalty, resulting in a $5,000 fine ($3,500 stayed) and one year of probation with standard terms.
