Rucker ruling clarified

 Return Home
August 07, 2006 | Print View

A ruling posted on the U.S. Trotting Association website states Ken Rucker was removed from the stewards’ list in New Jersey, but in fact it is the horse Highland Pride A that was taken off. Highland Pride A was suspended from racing following a positive EPO test in an April 30 race at the Meadowlands, which was then followed by Meadowlands’ officials excluding Rucker from racing at that track.

At the time of the positive test the New Jersey Racing Commission issued a ruling that said that “as a result of a blood test which indicated that the horse was positive for elevated titers of anti-recombinant human EPO antibody” the horse Highland Pride A was placed on the steward’s list. The horse will be prohibited from racing until re-testing results are ‘determined to be negative with the antibody test.’”

Rucker had previously signed an agreement with the Meadowlands by which he accepted procedures which would be enforced, including the denial of his entries, should he have a positive test for specified medications, including EPO, thus his exclusion that took effect May 21.
