Summer Sunset, the horse that mistakenly was given Lasix prior to winning the second race here Dec. 29, has been disqualified and ruled unplaced in the order of finish by New York State Racing and Wagering Board. Runner-up Money in Motion has been declared the winner of that race.
Any further action is still pending, including a possible fine/or suspension of trainer Karl Grusmark.
Summer Sunset received a shot of Lasix from a New York Racing Association veterinarian the morning of the race, though the horse was not scheduled to get the medication. The betting public was never made aware of the fact the horse received Lasix as the stewards were not notified until after the race had been run.
Summer Sunset won that race by 6 3/4 lengths and returned $11.
Summer Sunset was claimed out of the race by trainer Dominic Galluscio, who has elected to keep the horse.

READ THE SIGNS had a useful tightener first time out, finishing evenly in a sprint and winding up just three lengths behind the runner-up, while earning this group's best last-out Beyer; stretches out from favorable post and drops in with New York-bred fillies and mares that are combined 0 for 90. MOMMY'S DEAREST was clear thru 6fs in slow 1:17, led to deep stretch before finally being run down by Tropical Jetset, who left maiden ranks on the 22nd try; cutting back 70 yards can only help.
