I sort of agree. What is the point. Suspensions in the racing industry are a joke.

Ordinarily, this would be a decent first step. Now, if they find him responsible on the alleged cobra venom issue, he's a repeat offender, and more serious penalties would be warranted. What concerns me is that, given this fact, Biancone has chosen not to appeal the finding.

It amazes me that he has apparently not lost a single owner despite all his transgressions this year. First, Martin Schwartz pulls a Dean Martin/Thorton Mellon when asked about Biancone by DRF, and then the West Point guys thank him for the wonderful job he did with Irish Smoke before he went on his little state-imposed "holiday." Are these guys actually that naive, or is it that they simply do not care if they are associated with trainers that have the track record that a Biancone has?

The owners just don't seem to care as long as Pat keeps winning races and making them money.

I am not condemning or condoning. However, there is more to it and it is not as simplistic as it's made to appear here.

Right, that's it. Look how much talent it takes to mock and name-call.

Poor timing by Bianconne on giving the medication on that day.

In California, the Biancone-trained Iron Butterfly tested positive for the bronchodilator Salmeterol following the *2nd race at Santa Anita Park Jan. 7. The class 3 medication is prohibited in a horse during a race, A hearing is pending on the disqualification of the horse

That race was a maiden race at 7F. The winner of the race was some filly named Rags to Riches.


Article said it was the third race, it actually was the 2nd race.

I think it is sad that so many of you choose to criticize a successful, top notch, hard working trainer who's integrity is beyond reproach. The guy has had international success, has a top notch client base and people want to whine because he does the best for his horses and his clients.

How any of you think he is any different than the "big time" trainers many of you worship is laughable. Don't single him out for he operates the same as the rest of them.
