Trainer Jeff Mullins has been fined $1,500 and suspended for 15 days by the California Horse Racing Board, according to a ruling posted on the CHRB website, after his trainee Inch tested positive for clenbuterol.
Inch won the sixth race at Del Mar on Aug. 25, 2022, but post-race test results found the bronchodilator in the 2017 son of Violence's system.
Mullins entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with the CHRB, which resulted in the $1,500 fine and a 30-day suspension that was reduced to 15 days, with the second 15 days stayed on the condition that Mullins does not have any medication violations of class 1, 2, or 3 until Jan. 8, 2024.
Mullins' suspension will run from Jan. 9 through Jan. 23, 2023. The trainer was also assessed two points in accordance with the CHRB's multiple medication violations program.
According to the Daily Racing Form, Mullins' son Jeff Mullins, Jr. will take over the stable during his suspension.
