Homeboykris, the 9-year-old gelding who collapsed and died after winning a race May 21 on the Preakness Stakes card at Pimlico Race Course in Maryland, had an impermissible level of a regulated medication in his system at the time of the race, according to an inquiry conducted by the Maryland Racing Commission.The anti-inflammatory medication dexamethasone appeared in the horses postrace sample at a level of 30 picograms per milliliter of blood plasma, above the permissible level of 5 picograms per milliliter, according to a report prepared by the commission. The report quoted David Zipf, the chief state veterinarian for the commission, as saying that the medication did not contribute to the horses death, which was attributed to a heart attack.The death of Homeboykris got the Preakness card off to a somber start. Homeboykris was making the 63rd start of his career in the days opening race, a $5,000 starter allowance, and he was well known on the Maryland circuit. He suffered the heart attack while walking to the detention barn.As a result of the overage, Homeboykris trainer, Francis Campitelli, was fined $500. Campitelli was also assessed one point under Marylands multiple medication violation points system, in which the accrual of points can lead to harsher penalties.The report said the medication was prescribed by and provided to Campitelli by a racetrack practitioner, Jon Sivick, in the form of Azium Powder, with instructions to administer the substance two days prior to the race. The Racing Medication and Testing Consortium recommends that dexamethasone be administered no closer than 72 hours prior to a race to avoid testing over the permissible limit. Sam Steel Jersey .

Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious. West Indies captain Jason Holder has praised Kraigg Brathwaite for showing the qualities we have been asking for in the dressing room during his 142 off 318 balls, an innings in which he carried his bat and gave his team a 56-run lead in Sharjah.Holder went on to take three wickets early in Pakistans second innings, and they were four down before they wiped out the deficit. He put that performance down to the motivation Brathwaite had given West Indies, and predicted that the opener would go on to play 100 Tests.He showed great character, great composure, great faith, Holder said of Brathwaite. It was very inspirational for me and gave me the energy to go and do what we did in the end.I have played a lot of cricket with Brathwaite - Under-13, 15, 17 and 19, and now senior cricket. He has scored a lot of runs in junior cricket. He has already played 30-odd Test matches and he has been the mainstay in terms of opening partnerships. I have no doubt in Braithwaite, who has shown the world what he can bring. If he can remain consistent, he will definitely play 100-plus Test matches.After Brathwaite secured the lead, Holder consolidated the advantage by taking out Sami Aslam, Asad Shafiq and Younis Khan inside the first 20 overs, reducing Pakistan to 41 for 3. They were ahead by only 31 at stumps, with six wickets in hand.We knew theres just limited time in the last session, so we wantedd to just give it our all, Holder told Ten Sports.dddddddddddd Fortunately for me, I was able to get some balls to lift off a good length, which took the edge or the gloves. Fortunately, we had some luck in this session. I think we put ourselves in a good position because of this session.When asked about offspinner Roston Chase bowling 13 of the first 39 overs in Pakistans second innings, while Devendra Bishoo bowled only two, Holder said the legspinner had a big job to do on the fourth day.As the pitch wears out, Bishoo will come into the picture. He has a big job to do for us tomorrow, Holder said. The plan is to just keep rotating bowlers.It was important to be disciplined and get wickets, and not allow them to get away from us with the runs. Roston was outstanding in the first innings. He has done a tremendous job for us since he has come into the team, so weve given him that responsibility.Holder was concerned about the bounce in the pitch, but said that if it did not become variable, a target of around 200 was achievable.Its important to keep them under pressure in the first hour. We just have to continue to maintain the intensity. We all have to really toil for the wickets. We are very happy with the situation but we need to start well tomorrow. ' ' '
