Ohlson suspension reduced
NZPA-AZ Melbourne The former New Zealand trainer, Warren Ohlson, will now serve a twomonth suspension over the use of a prohibited drug on the gelding, Ever So Gold, after the hearing of a second appeal this week.
Ohlson, aged 37, based at Cranboume, had been suspended for six months by V.R.C. stewards, after an inquiry into the analyst’s finding that a urine sample taken from Ever So Gold, after winning
the Cornwall Handicap at Flemington on June 6, was positive for oxyphenbutazone with traces of phenylbutazone.
The V.R.C. committee heard his appeal on August 27 and cut Ohlson’s suspension to three months.
Ohlson then appealed to the Racing Appeals Tribunal on the severity -i
of the penalty and his suspension was further reduced by a month this week.
