Jason Servis/ Jorge Navarro arrested for doping Horse Racing
From: Amy (1pony)

Looks like at least one of Navarros owners knew about the doping. What we don’t know is which one.
It seems at least one owner was aware of Navarro's drug program. The indictment makes reference to a call with unidentified operators of a racing stable based in California about Navarro trainee Nanoosh. The owner asked if Navarro was “giving them all the [censored]” and asking “Is this horse jacked out? Is he on [censored] pills or what…” to which Navarro responded “Everything … he gets everything.”
Nanoosh is listed in Equibase as being co-owned by Rockingham Ranch, Zayat Stables and David Bernsen. Zayat Stables is based in New Jersey.

Scratched horses and a CA investigation themselves. So what are they investigating that the Feds haven’t? Other trainers at their tracks?

Scratching horses is the correct way to handle it because there will not be someone with a license to run them this soon.
I missed the part about CA investigations where was that?

I am so very distraught about the horse doping scandal. Involving two specific trainers. I never really liked JAson Servis.in interviews there was something detached in talking about his relationship to his horse. However,still never connected him with illegal drug use. It is really despicable that the XYJet who was given the drug,died of a heart attack some months ago— suggested it is related to be given these drugs . Then when we all were excited about the Maximum Security win at Dubai , this victory was fake and question if he ran cleanly,would he still would have won! I am not sure what notable horses Navarro was connected to ,but he also is a slime ball. The criminality of these trainers leaves horse lovers incredibly disappointed and angry that a noble sport is so tainted by greed. And these equine athletes are exploited !

I doubt he talked to Servis, switching MS to Baffert

Wow, I know that the West’s have horse’s with Bob already but this one shocks me. This article says MS and Midnight Bisou are in Chicago in quarantine so once released I am sure he will head straight to Baffert. If I owned the horse, I would send him to a farm (one with a pool or water treadmill so he can keep some conditioning) for 30 days.
