Trainer Richard Guest for Jockey Club doping hearing
Horse trainer Richard Guest will be appearing before the Jockey Club's
disciplinary panel on Friday following one of his horses testing
positive for controlled substances.
Ooh Aah Camara was found to have the drugs phenylbutazone and
oxyphenbutazone in her system after finishing seventh in the Albany
Stakes at York on 17 June 2005.
Richard Guest's hearing is complicated by a dispute between owner
Willie McKay and the horse's former trainer Vicky Haigh, which arose
after the horse moved to Guest's stable.
Vicky Haigh, who has since given up her training licence, has also been
called before the Jockey Club panel.
Vicky Haigh is accused of administering the drugs, which are also known
as bute, to the horse without therapeutic justification and/or failing
to inform Richard Guest on the same day the three-year-old filly was
moved to his yard.
Ooh Aah Camara had run at York as a Richard Guest horse.
Richard Guest, who is famous for winning the Grand National as a jockey on Red Maurader
in 2001, has said he is expecting to get the minimum fine.
