From the stewards at Kentucky Downs:

Meanwhile, in the harness world, this: Trainer Miriam Kraemer has been busted for a pair of drug positives in New Jersey dating back to early 2022. Sir Richie N was found to have oxymorphone, oxycodone, and noroxycodone in his system when raced Feb 25; Slipin Skip had oxymorphone in his when raced Apr 30. For this – opioids – Kraemer was suspended for a mere 27 days (currently being served).
This is horseracing.
It must be a special type of evil, soulless human to defile an innocent, helpless creature’s body with our human filth.
Sadly, before we knew better, we galloped horses & taught many of these kinds of owner/ trainers horses to be ridden. Today these same crummy owners/ trainers are still racing at Grant`s Pass so called commercial meet right now. Wish all this would just go away! Economics will eventually slowly, inevitably have these tracks disappear. Don`t bet, watch or support this “crooked, crummy,gamboling game” in anyway.
