Canani, Mullins Complaints Dropped
CHRB complaints against trainers Julio Canani and Jeff Mullins were dropped on Wednesday after the board was advised there was not enough evidence to support the cases against either. Both were charged with “conduct detrimental to horseracing” — Canani for his pre- and post-Santa Anita Derby comments on Sweet Catomine’s condition, and Mullins for telling LA Times sports columnist T.J. Simers that bettors were “idiots.” Van driver Dean Kerkhoff remains “on the hook” for his part in the Sweet Catomine affair. (Blood-Horse)
