Macias Suspended 90 Days

Conditioner Adolfo Macias has been suspended 90 days following the search of his barn at a Central Kentucky training center. The story was originally reported by the DRF based on a ruling issued by Kentucky stewards. Macias waived his right for a formal hearing on the suspension, which will begin Dec. 1 and run through Feb. 28.

The search, which was conducted July 28, turned up “injectable medications, hypodermic syringes, and needles.” The search took place about three weeks after the Macias-trained Enraged (Big Blue Kitten) won a maiden claimer at Ellis Park, after which he tested positive for dexamethasone. Enraged was disqualified and Macias was fined $500.

Trainer/Owner Adolfo Macias Suspended 90 Days After Barn Search

Adolfo Macias has had both his owner's and trainer's licenses suspended for 90 days by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, beginning Dec. 1 and running through Feb. 28, 2022. According to a ruling issued on Nov. 13, the suspension stems from a barn search at Ashwood Training Center on July 28, 2021, which turned up injectable medications, hypodermic needles and syringes.

In an additional ruling issued on the same date, Macias' trainee Enraged has been disqualified from his win at Ellis Park on July 9, 2021. Industrial Laboratories indicated that a post-race sample from Enraged was positive for dexamethasone, and the split sample was confirmed by Texas A & M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory. The KHRC also fined Macias for the violation, his first in 365 days.

Macias, who has been training since 2005, has saddled 127 winners from 1,165 starters.

According to thoroughbredrulings.com, Macias has previously been cited for positives of phenylbutazone (Jan. 22, 2009; March 7, 2009; May 3, 2011), flunixin (May 3, 2011), and dexamethasone (Dec. 30, 2012)

Big Blue Kitten’s First Winner At Stud Comes At Churchill Downs

Grade 1 winner Big Blue Kitten was represented by his first winner at stud on Oct. 25, when Miss Adeline prevailed by a neck in a turf maiden special weight at Churchill Downs.

Miss Adeline was set up three-wide in the front pack early by jockey Edgar Morales, then moved up to challenge for the lead and held off the charge to prevail by a neck, stopping the clock in 1:48.42 in the 1 1/16-mile race over good turf. Adolfo Macias trains Miss Adeline for owner William Pribble.

Bred in Kentucky by Calumet Farm, Miss Adeline is out of the winning A.P. Indy mare Vuemont, who is herself a full-sister to two-time Canadian champion Marchfield and a half-sister to stakes winner Congor Bay.

Big Blue Kitten, a 12-year-old son of Kitten's Joy, stands at Calumet Farm in Lexington, Ky., for an advertised fee of $10,000.

He won 14 of 33 starts during his on-track career for earnings of $2,983,350, highlighted by victories in the Grade 1 Sword Dancer Invitational Stakes, G1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Stakes, and two runnings of the G1 United Nations Stakes, along with triumphs in the G2 National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes, and G3 Fort Marcy Stakes. He earned the Eclipse Award as champion turf male of 2015.

Big Blue Kitten is out of the placed Unaccounted For mare Spent Gold, putting him in the family of champion Stevie Wonderboy, Grade 2 winner Fair Judgement, Grade 3 winner Mystical Mood, and Peruvian champion Juliana.
