It's been one year since the FBI arrested over two dozen individuals, including trainers Jason Servis and Jorge Navarro, in a racehorse doping probe originating with the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York. Three days after the arrests, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak to be a pandemic, and the entire world seemingly ground to a halt.
In the ensuing 12 months – despite the challenges to the Justice Department brought about by COVID-19 – there have been two guilty pleas; this past week one of those individuals, Scott Robinson, accused ot selling performance enhancing substances that wound up in racehorses, was sentenced to 18 months in prison on one count of drug adulteration and misbranding conspiracy.
In this week's edition of the Friday Show, publisher Ray Paulick and Natalie Voss, the Paulick Report's three-time Eclipse Award winning editor in chief, discuss the federal case's developments and what we can expect in the months and even years going forward. Bloodstock editor Joe Nevills joins the show to talk about the Star of the Week and has a Toast to Vino Rosso, highlighting one of the foals from the first crop by the Breeders' Cup Classic-winning son of Curlin.
