No Muscle in Elitlopp

 Return Home
April 19, 2005 Send To A Friend  | Print View

The invitation extended to Mr. Muscleman to compete in next month's Elitlopp at Solvalla racetrack in Stockholm, Sweden, has been withdrawn, Solvalla officials have confirmed.



The reason for the withdrawal of the invitation is because of the recent suspension of Mr. Muscleman's trainer, Noel Daley. Just last week the New Jersey Racing Commission suspended Daley for six months and fined him as well for his second blood-gas test positive. The horse which tested high was not Mr. Muscleman.



The Elitlopp is a strictly invitation-only race, and Solvalla officials reportedly decided that too much negative press would be generated by Mr. Muscleman's appearance in the race because of Daley's suspension, which he is expected to appeal.



Adam Victor, the owner of Mr. Muscleman, is rumored to be considering legal action against the New Jersey Racing Commission because their action caused the withdrawal of the invitation.
