EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (July 29, 2017) – The Meadowlands
Racetrack is announcing that Lady Shadow, an earner of $1,915,777 and the 2016
Dan Patch Award winner as champion pacing mare, will be unable to race at the
Meadowlands after a post-race test at Harrah’s Philadelphia on May 28 came back
positive for Clenbuterol.
According to the ruling issued by the Pennsylvania Horse
Racing Commission, “Ronald Adams as trainer is in violation of PHRC medication
rules and the trainer responsibility rule. Mr. Adams has waived his hearing
before the Judges and will appeal the ruling to the Racing Commission. All
purse money earned on 5/28/2017 must be returned and redistributed. Transfers
of horses must be approved by the Judges at Harrah’s Chester or by the PHRC.”
“As a result of the finding that Lady Shadow was found to
have unacceptable levels of Clenbuterol when she raced at Harrah’s Philadelphia
and the split sample came back positive, the owners have been advised that the
horse will not be allowed to race in the upcoming stake at the Meadowlands,”
said Meadowlands chairman Jeffrey Gural.
