Trainer suspended for jacking up horses
A bonehead story from the world of horse racing! Trainer Patrick Biancone has been suspended for a year for having snake venom in a fridge at his barn. This stuff is used to numb horse nerves to help them perform better. Biancone won’t be able to train horses anywhere in the U.S. because of this violation of horse medication rules. Biancone is fighting back, saying he didn’t know the stuff was in his fridge, so he’s trying to appeal. So not only are humans getting jacked up, but I guess it’s spilling over into the animal kingdom now too!
