A huge gap in penalties in Pennsylvania, compared with what is going on here in Australia.
Hall of Famer, Chuck Sylvester who trained among millionaires...Muscles Yankee and Luck Chucky light $ fine and a couple of weeks.
Harness Racing Update has reported that Hall of Fame trainer Chuck Sylvester has been hit with a Cobalt positive in Pennsylvania after a horse he trained tested for an excess level of the banned substance.
Sylvester has been handed a 15-day suspension and a $500 fine by the Pennsylvania Harness Commission.
No mention of the level and I doubt that he will be allowed to start horses at the Meadowlands.
Chuck's been hit with a feather, No way Gural will put up with that business.
Age report following today's gallops hearing (this will be in tomorrow's paper)

Pretty pathetic if the last paragraph is true and considered reason enough to allow them to continue training in the interim
"No one admitted or accepted responsibility for the Cobalt positives. While it is likely the stewards will allow these trainers to continue because of the number of staff they employ, there was no satisfactory explanation of the nine positives"

This is now getting coverage on Pg 6&7 of the Age - no longer buried in the sport section
It has a strong harness slant and also mentions a new appointment by Vic racing minister to reform Victoria's integrity structure across all 3 codes
Sorry i missed the report
Congratulations on reaching the magic 100,000 :)
