RCI RULINGS: ASMUSSEN NIPS DUTROW, 74 TO 72
The Paulick Report has obtained a copy of rulings involving trainer Steve Asmussen that are in the database of the Association of Racing Commissioners International, dating from December 1990 through May 2008. There are a total of 74 rulings in the RCI report, which may not include rulings in some states that are not members of the RCI or do not report rulings to the organization.
A similar RCI report on trainer Rick Dutrow shows 72 rulings. Each trainer is in the news because of complaints for recent alleged medication violations reported in the last 48 hours, Dutrow for a clenbuterol positive in Kentucky and Asmussen for a lidocaine positive in Texas. The Paulick Report has a separate article on the uses of these two medications.
The two men are high-profile trainers by virtue of their association with the two leading horses currently in training in the United States: Dutrow trains Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown and Asmussen trains 2007 Horse of the Year Curlin, whose majority owner, Jess Jackson, recently spoke at a Congressional hearing on a variety of subjects, including the problem with drugs in horse racing.

This sport should be ashamed for allowing such behavior to continue on this level. Bring on the oversight to initiate drug-free racing and penalties that make a difference.

Why is the database of the Association of Racing Commissioners International not publicly accessible? This should be public information( on all trainers) for anyone who is interested in getting into the industry.

Some, not all, of the data in the RCI database is public information available from the individual racing commissions. The RCI database is the only national database maintaining such collective information. The database exists to facilitate the investigations, licensing or otherwise, of the regulatory members of the association. Limited access to otherwise public information is available to the public for a fee ($25 per record check) to help offset the cost of maintaining the database and responding to the request. RCI associate member organizations can upgrade their membership to include access to otherwise public information by paying a flat technology fee. Sorry, RCI is a not for profit and maintaining trhe database is a bear of a project.

Duh, you would think that after being fined so many times, after awhile the fines would be increased…..much like our penal laws require harsher penalties for repeat offenders.
If tracks are so money hungry as we know they are, WHY o WHY o WHY dont they start increasing their fines for repeat offenders?? Makes too much sense, I guess.
