ELMONT, N.Y. - Trainer Jeffrey Englehart begins a 10-day suspension Wednesday after the horse Profusion tested positive for phenylbutazone following a sixth-place finish in the fourth race at Aqueduct on April 8. Phenylbutazone is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory that can be used to treat lameness.
Engelhart, who was also fined $1,000, waived his right of appeal.
The suspension is for 10 calendar days and lasts through July 1. Englehart runs horses at Finger Lakes where he is the leading trainer with 16 wins. Finger Lakes conducts racing Mondays through Wednesdays.
