ARCADIA, Calif. – Trainer Peter Miller was fined $3,500 by Santa Anita stewards on Sunday after one of his runners tested in excess of the permitted level of the analgesic phenylbutazone following a workout in January.
Te Amo Mamo had a workout on Jan. 15 as part of the process to be removed from the veterinarian’s list. In a post-workout test, Te Amo Mamo was found to have 2.65 micrograms of bute, which was over the California Horse Racing Board’s limit of 2.0 micrograms. This was Miller’s third such penalty in the last year, according to the stewards’ ruling.
