Trainer Kathleen O'Connell on Saturday will begin serving a 14-day suspension, according to the stewards at Tampa Bay Downs. The stewards said the days originated with a ruling from Monmouth Park, which opens on Saturday.
O'Connell was suspended for an acepromazine positive, according to reporting by Daily Racing Form's Matt Hegarty. For more, please see the final paragraph of his article: http://www.drf.com/news/navarro-appealing-post-race-cocaine-positive-monmouth
There are four horses in a pair of Tampa stakes Saturday that all show they were previously trained by O'Connell and that all have been transferred to trainer Brain Smeak.
O'Connell is nearing 2,000 career wins, with 1,977 heading into Friday, according to statistics from Daily Racing Form.
