Every week, the TDN posts a round-up of the relevant Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) related rulings from around the country. Among this week's rulings, trainer Efren Loza, Jr. has been banned 18-months and fined $12,500 after his trainee, Mexicoffee, tested positive post-race for clenbuterol after finishing second at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 14. Loza's suspension began Apr. 17 and lasts until Oct. 16, 2025. Clenbuterol, a banned substance under HISA, is a bronchodilator with a checkered history in both human and equine sports due to its anabolic properties–in other words, its ability to increase lean muscle mass and reduce body fat. Trainer Amador Sanchez has been suspended for seven days and fined $1,000 after two of his runners tested positive post-race for capsaicin. The horses in question were Grey Princess, who won at Gulfstream Park Mar. 8, and Dontkissdaminister who finished second at Gulfstream Park Mar. 22. These cases were treated as one violation as per HISA guidance on multiple violations for the same controlled substance. A Class B controlled medication under HISA, capsaicin is the active ingredient in chilli peppers causing burning and irritation, and can be found in topical analgesics. Trainer Isidro Tamayo is also suspended for seven days as a result of his trainee, Dust Maker, testing positive for dexamethasone after winning at Turf Paradise Apr. 2. Dexamethasone is a Class C controlled medication under HISA, a first violation for which comes with a possible maximum $500 fine. But this case marked Tamayo's second violation for a Class C substance within the last two years. Two Class C medication violations within a two-year period comes with a maximum 15-day suspension and $1,000 fine.
