On September 04, 2015, the Board of Stewards offered a hearing to Owner/Trainer, Michae l L. Weeks to which he waived his right to a hearing regarding the allegations set forth in Notice of Hearing issued.
After considering the evidence, the Stewards hereby find the following:
The official blood and urine sample #190224 taken on 08/13/2015 was reported by Industrial Laboratories official Testing Laboratory to contain Phenylbutaz.one above the authorized levels. Specif ically, blood sample contained 4.5 ug/ml. The sample was taken from "May May's Cat" which ran in the 8th Race on 08/13/15 finishing 1st. This horse is a Dk B. or B. g. 4 yo.

Va.C.S.R.1.
The Penalty Guidelines set forth in Table 178-1 of the Thoroughbred Racing Rules provide a penalty of TwoHundred fifty Dollar ($250) Fine.
However, the Stewards determine the appropriate penalty on case by case basis by considering the following mitigating/aggravating factors: A.)
