NY Court Upholds Dutrow’s License Revocation
http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/71371/ny-court-upholds-dutrows-license-revocation

A New York appeals court has unanimously upheld the revocation of trainer Rick Dutrow’s license by state racing regulators—a major setback for the colorful trainer’s ability to keep working in the state.

Just a day before the opening of the Saratoga summer meet, the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court said July 19 the state Racing and Wagering Board’s revocation of Dutrow’s license was legally justified and based on a claim that he had “engaged in conduct that was improper and inconsistent with the public interest and the best interests of racing.”

But the Massachusetts Gaming Commission announced a number of steps to keep drugs and alcohol off the track. The state’s drug policy and penalties for horses will line up with that of the Racing Medication & Testing Consortium and the Association of Racing Commissioners International.
