A once-renowned thoroughbred trainer pleaded guilty in a horse doping scandal that involved a disqualified Kentucky Derby winner. Prosecutors say that at least one horse died of a heart attack from the illegal doping.
A once-renowned thoroughbred trainer pleaded guilty Wednesday in a wide-ranging horse doping scandal that caused at least one animal to die of a heart attack and that involved a disqualified Kentucky Derby winner, authorities said.
As part of his plea, Navarro has agreed to pay nearly $26 million in penalties, reflecting the winnings he had fraudulently obtained through the scheme, federal prosecutors said. The Panama-born trainer was the seven-time leading trainer at New Jersey’s Monmouth Park and posted the best results at Florida’s Gulfstream Park in the 2018-2019 season before being hit with charges of drugging his horses. But competitors long suspected something was amiss with his success, often referring to Navarro as the “juice man.”
In one shocking example cited by prosecutors, Navarro was accused of administering performance-enhancing drugs to a horse named XY Jet prior to the gelding’s first-place finish in the Dubai Golden Shaheen race in 2019, netting a purse of $1.5 million.
