Steven Lascher, a veterinarian employed by the New York Racing Association to administer Lasix, has been fined $4,000 by the New York State Gaming Commission for failure to follow proper Lasix procedures, according to the Daily Racing Form.
Lascher did not show up to the barns of four horses in time to administer the anti-bleeding medication, necessitating late scratches of two horses trained by Christophe Clement, one trained by Bill Mott, and one trained by Orlando Noda. As a result, the seventh race at Belmont Park on June 9, 2022, ran with just two entries.
Lascher was fined $1,000 per incidence.
“He admitted to the mistake,” state steward Braulio Baeza, Jr., told DRF.
