Every week, the TDN posts a roundup of the relevant Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) related rulings from around the country. The following rulings were reported on HISA's “rulings” portal and through the Horseracing Integrity and Welfare Unit's (HIWU) “pending” and “resolved” cases portals. Among this week's rulings, trainer Angel Sanchez Pinero has been banned a combined eight years and fined a total $90,000 (as well as arbitration costs) for a series of medication violations stemming from 2024 onwards. These penalties come in the wake of a two-year suspension and $10,000 fine Sanchez-Pinero received last November after his trainee Gone Boy tested positive for the bronchodilator Albuterol (Salbutamol) after winning at Aqueduct on April 19. Albuterol is a banned substance. These latest suite of rulings are for officially working a horse while it was provisionally suspended; for out-of-competition and post-race positives for bronchodilator Formoterol (Aformoterol), a banned substance; for a vets' list medication violation for the presence of Boldenone, a banned substance; and for the possession of and attempted use of Prasterone, a banned anabolic substance. Sanchez Pinero argued his side before an arbitrator in each of these cases. According to Equibase, Sanchez-Pinero has been training on and off since 2003. He has 37 wins to his name and over $1.1 million in earnings. Resolved ADMC Violations Dates: 01/14/2026 Licensee: Mathew Philip Sims, trainer Penalty: Disqualification of Covered Horse's Race results, including forfeiture of all purses and other compensation, prizes, trophies, points, and rankings and repayment or surrender (as applicable); a fine of $500; imposition of 1.5 Penalty Points. Explainer: Vets' list medication violation for the presence of Dexamethasone—a class C controlled substance—in a sample taken from Le Bien Le Mal, who finished fifth at Turfway Park on 12/4/25. Dates: 01/14/2026 Licensee: Marcus Vitali, trainer Penalty: 7-day period of Ineligibility for Covered Person, beginning on January 15, 2026; Disqualification of Covered Horse's Race results, including forfeiture of all purses and other compensation, prizes, trophies, points, and rankings and repayment or surrender (as applicable); a fine of $1,000; imposition of 2 Penalty Points. Explainer: Medication violation for the presence of Acepromazine—a class B controlled substance—in a sample taken from Yankee Dollar, who finished second in the Illini Princess Handicap at Hawthorne on 6/15/25. Dates: 01/14/2026 Licensee: Angel Sanchez Pinero, trainer Penalty: 1-year period of Ineligibility for Covered Person, beginning on November 25, 2034; Disqualification of results of Covered Horse's Timed and Reported Workout on 05/01/25 and 05/17/25; a fine of $5,000; payment of 50% of arbitration costs. Explainer: For the breach of rule 3230(b)(2), “Causing a Covered Horse to Violate its Provisional Suspension.” The horse in question is four-year-old filly, Laguardia. HIWU provisionally suspended the then Sanchez-Pinero trained Laguardia after the filly had tested positive for bronchodilator Formoterol (Aformoterol)—a banned substance—after finishing second at Parx Racing on March 26. HIWU officially posted this notice on June 11. Laguardia has since then started six times at Mountaineer, a track that being in West Virginia falls outside of HISA's jurisdiction. When asked last July about the nature of Sanchez-Pinero's alleged breach of rule 3230(b)(2) with Laguardia, a HIWU spokesperson wrote that “Sanchez-Pinero oversaw a breeze by Laguardia while she was Provisionally Suspended. A Covered Horse cannot complete a Timed and Reported Workout (i.e., breeze) while Provisionally Suspended.” Dates: 01/14/2026 Licensee: Angel Sanchez Pinero, trainer Penalty: 2-year period of Ineligibility for Covered Person, beginning on November 25, 2032; 60-day period of Ineligibility for Covered Horse, beginning on March 26, 2025; Disqualification of Covered Horse's Race results, including forfeiture of all purses and other compensation, prizes, trophies, points, and rankings and repayment or surrender (as applicable); a fine of $25,000; payment of 50% of arbitration costs. Explainer: Medication violations for the presence of bronchodilator Formoterol (Aformoterol)—a banned substance—in a sample taken from Laguardia, who finished second at Parx Racing on 3/26/25. Dates: 01/12/2026 Licensee: Maria Pinzon, trainer Penalty: 2-year period of Ineligibility for Covered Person, beginning on January 13, 2026; a fine of $25,000. Explainer: Medication violation for the possession of Isoxuprine—a banned substance—for an event dated 4/4/25.

Patrons arriving for Thursday's races at Santa Anita were met by something new, gaming terminals called Racing On Demand. Racing On Demand terminals, like HHR machines, are a form of pari-mutuel wagering on previously run races. The Paulick Report was first with the story. The publication reported that 26 machines were operating on Thursday and they were on the ground floor of the grandstand in an area formerly known as the Horse Wizard Lounge. At the deadline for this story, the TDN had reached out to two members of The Stronach Group team seeking more information, but had not heard back from either. The story will be updated as more details come in. If the Racing On Demand machines prove to be a hit, they could help solve what has been a huge problem for the California racing industry and Santa Anita in particular. California is the last major racing state that does not receive alternative revenue from casinos, slot machines, HHR machines, or government subsidies to prop up purses. The result has been that purses at the California tracks have fallen well short of those offered in places like Kentucky, Arkansas, and New York. This has affected field sizes at the Southern California tracks and has led some top trainers to set up divisions in Kentucky, where the purses have soared thanks to HHR machines. There may still be questions that need to be answered regarding their legality. Under the state's current laws, Native American tribes hold a legal monopoly on casino-style gaming, specifically slot machines. The TDN reached out via email to the Indian Gaming Association for a comment, and, at the deadline for this story, was awaiting a reply. Paulick wrote that the machines will offer a “specific bet type approved by the California Horse Racing Board in 2024.” The publication also wrote that California racing officials are of the belief that the Racing On Demand machines are legal under existing regulations. Sources told the Paulick Report that the Racing on Demand terminals are more advanced than a typical self-betting device but have fewer “bells and whistles” than the Historical Horse Racing machines in use in Kentucky and other states. According to the Paulick Report, Racing On Demand wagering has been in development for nearly 18 months, and the Stronach Group, the owners of Santa Anita, have received legal analysis from the gaming and regulatory division of the O'Melveny & Myers law firm and have had discussions with regulatory officials that gave Santa Anita management the confidence to unveil the machines at this time. California Attorney General Rob Bonta's office was furnished the legal opinion well in advance, and the CHRB has been notified that Racing On Demand has been launched.

After the Finish Line's eighth charity auction of Breeders' Cup caps begins this Sunday, Jan. 18 and runs for one week. The auction's sponsor, the Georgia B. Ridder Foundation, honors Mrs. Ridder, who owned and raced Alphabet Soup, the 1996 Breeders' Cup Classic winner. Proceeds will help care for, rehabilitate, retrain, rehome and/or retire off-track Thoroughbreds. A total of 114 caps representing runners from the 2025 World Championships are included in the auction, including Forever Young (Jpn), Ted Noffey and Shisospicy. “This auction brings aftercare, and horse racing fans together in a unique way,” said Dawn Mellen, President and Founder of After the Finish Line. “Fans can bid on the official hats of their favorite racehorses to benefit Thoroughbreds no longer racing. This helps raise awareness about the importance of aftercare for racing fans. We are excited to help build the bridge between racing and aftercare with this auction.” The post After the Finish Line’s Charity Auction of Breeders’ Cup Caps Begins Sunday appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
