Trainer Jorge Navarro, who is currently serving a 60-day suspension given by the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering, will be denied stalls at Tampa Bay Downs through June 2014, reports the Daily Racing Form. Racing officials also will not accept any of his entries during that time.
Navarro received the 60-day suspension from officials last week, after six horses under his care tested positive for Banamine at Tampa Bay almost two years ago. The DRF reports that Tampa Bay officials decided to put the additional ban in place after the 60-day suspension was determined.
Navarro will, however, be allowed on the grounds at Tampa Bay during that time, but “only in the public places”, according to officials.
