ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) _ The Indiana Horse Racing Commission has fined a Hoosier Park Racing and Casino horse trainer and reached a settlement with a driver in a disciplinary case at the Anderson track.
The (Anderson) Herald Bulletin (http://bit.ly/1HI5y60 ) reports Jimmy Martin Rogers was the trainer for a horse named Jesse's Con, which finished first and second in two races in summer 2014. According to the commission, post-race blood and urine samples taken from the horse tested positive for a prohibited substance.
Rogers was fined $500, forced to repay his 5 percent of the purse and suspended from racing for 15 days. The two purses totaled $23,875.
The driver in the other case, Peter Wrenn, agreed to a settlement after judges in two August races said he “failed to display competitive urging during the stretch drive,'' a violation of racing rules.
