Owner-Trainer Englehart Fined, Suspended For Bute Positive

Owner-trainer Jeffrey Englehart was suspended for 10 days by Belmont Park stewards June 17 and fined $1,000 following a finding of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication phenylbutazone (Bute) in a post-race sample from Profusion after he competed April 8 in the fourth race at Aqueduct.

Profusio, who finished fifth of six runners as the even-money favorite in the $14,000 claiming race, has been disqualified and purse money redistributed.

The 5-year-old son of Pioneerof the Nile, owned by Robert Photos, subsequently won a $5,000 claiming race June 8 at Finger Lakes.

Englehart waived his right to appeal, according to the ruling posted on the New York State Gaming Commission website. He is to serve his suspension from June 22-July 1, 2022.

World Pool Increases at ’22 Royal Ascot Meeting

Royal Ascot set a new record with £168 million gross turnover for World Pool bets across the five-day meeting, which drew 273,465 attendees. Gross turnover for World Pool bets increased 35 percent over 2021's figures of £123.9 million. This year, the three biggest pools of the week were amassed in the G1 Coronation S. (£6.6 million), the G1 Platinum Jubilee S. (£6.4 million) and the G1 Gold Cup (£6.1 million). The Coronation now overtakes the G1 Cazoo Derby as the biggest British World Pool race to date. Each World Pool event is highlighted by a 'Moment of the Day,' rewarding a standout performance. Racing staff who look after the 'Moment of the Day' winner will receive £1,000 and a bottle of champagne.

Tuesday: Sinead Earl, groom of Nature Strip (G1 King's Stand S.)
Wednesday: Reg Todd, groom of Dark Shift, winner of the Royal Hunt Cup.
Thursday: Ollie Turner, groom and work rider of Claymore who won the Hampton Court S. He's travelling Head Lad for Jane Chapple-Hyam.
Friday: Naseem Khan, groom of Latin Lover who gave Harry Eustace his first Royal Ascot winner in the Palace of Holyroodhouse S.
Saturday: Liisi Hallik, groom of Holloway Boy who won the Chesham S.

At the end of the World Pool season, the 16 winners of “Moment of the Day” at World Pool events will compete for the overall World Pool “Moment of the Year,” which will be presented on British Champions Day Oct. 15. The overall winner will be determined by a combination of scores derived from a public vote and an industry panel. The winning yard who looks after the horse will be awarded the World Pool “Moment of the Year” and receive £34,000.
