Gets caught, acknowledges it, then cheats again while explaining it?
DRF story details a steward catching a horse being administered \"paste\" on race day. In CA, nothing other than feed and water within 48 hrs, save for lasix.
He says \"correct\", the horse that was supposed to get the treatment was racing the next day.
By most accounts, the next day would still be less than 48 hrs.
Result? Slap on wrist, $1500
