I was thinking about buying Triple Crown Senior again. Well that lasted for a short 2 days. LOL

For those who didn't read the article...here is the bottom line. I sure hope Triple Crown is paying for all the expenses and inconvenience of this.

According to the stewards' ruling, “the contaminated feed was Triple Crown 14% Racing Performance feed produced at the Consumers Supply Distributing mill, located in North Sioux City, South Dakota. The mill has identified and confirmed, through independent testing, that the Triple Crown 14% Racing Performance feed Lot #20505624 is contaminated with ractopamine.”

Entered into evidence was a “letter from Consumers Supply Distributing in North Sioux City, South Dakota, taking full responsibility for the contaminated feed that was provided. The mill ran cattle feed supplemented with Optaflexx (ractopamine) prior to the production of the Triple Crown 14% Performance Racing feed Lot #20505624.”

The Triple Crown 14% Performance Racing Feed from lot #20505624 was then sold to trainer Kelly Von Hemel via Griff's Feed, a local feed supplier in Altoona, Iowa, the town in which Prairie Meadows is located.
