ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT
The Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Pari-Mutuel Wager-
ing (Division), files this Administrative Complaint against Julio R. Carfagena (Respondent), and
alleges as follows:
1. The Division is the state agency charged with regulating pari-mutuel wagering pur-
suant to Chapter 550, Florida Statutes.
2. At all times material hereto Respondent held a pari-mutuel wagering
trainer/thoroughbred license, number 8613805-1021, issued by the Division.
3. Atall times material hereto Respondent trained and raced thoroughbred horses at the
Gulfstream Park facility.
4. Gulfstream Park is a facility operated by a permitholder authorized to conduct pari-
mutuel wagering in this state under Chapter 550, Florida Statutes.
5. Rule 61D-6.002(1), Florida Administrative Code, provides, "[t]he trainer of record
shall be responsible for and be the absolute insurer of the condition of the horses ... he/she enters
to race."
6. On April 29, 2012, Respondent was fined $500.00 and suspended for 30 days by the
Stewards/Judges (DBPR Case No. 2011015535) upon a finding that the horse “SUAVE JAZZ”,
which won the third race at Gulfstream Park on February 23, 2011, had been administered gly-
copyrrolate within 24 hours of that race. A true copy of the Stewards’ /Judges’ ruling in that case
is hereto attached as Exhibit “1”.
7. On April 29, 2012, Respondent was fined $1,000.00 and suspended for 30 days by
the Stewards/Judges (DBPR Case No. 2011025566) upon a finding that the horse “GAME ON”,
which finished second in the first race at Gulfstream Park on March 27, 2011, had been adminis-
tered glycopyrrolate within 24 hours of that race. A true copy of the Stewards’/Judges’ ruling in
that case is hereto attached as Exhibit “2”,
8. Section 550.2415, Florida Statutes (Fla. Stat.), provides in relevant part:
(1)(a) The racing of an animal with any drug, medication, stimulant, depres-
sant, hypnotic, narcotic, local anesthetic, or drug-masking agent is prohibited. Itisa
violation of this section for a person to administer or cause to be administered any
drug, medication, stimulant, depressant, hypnotic, narcotic, local anesthetic, or drug-
masking agent to an animal which will result in a positive test for such substance
based on samples taken from the animal immediately prior to or immediately after
the racing of that animal. ....
WK EK aE
(c) The finding of a prohibited substance in a race-day specimen constitutes
prima facie evidence that the substance was administered and was carried in the body
of the animal while participating in the race.
(2) Administrative action may be taken by the division against an occupa-
tional licensee responsible pursuant to rule of the division for the condition of an
animal that has been impermissibly medicated or drugged in violation of this section.
(3\(a) Upon the finding of a violation of this section, the division may revoke
or suspend the license or permit of the violator or deny a license or permit to the
violator; impose a fine against the violator in an amount not exceeding $5,000,
require the full or partial return of the purse, sweepstakes, and trophy of the race at
issue; or impose against the violator any combination of such penalties. ....
oh aE OK RE
(d) Any proceeding for administrative action against a licensee or permittee
... Shall be conducted in compliance with chapter 120.
(4) A prosecution pursuant to this section for a violation of this section must
be commenced within 2 years after the violation was committed. Service of an
administrative complaint marks the commencement of administrative action.
(5) The division shall implement a split-sample procedure for testing ani-
mals under this section.
(a) Upon finding a positive drug test result, the department shall notify the
owner or trainer of the results. The owner may request that each urine and blood
sample be split into a primary sample and a secondary (split) sample. ....
9. Rule 61D-6.006(3), Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), provides that “[flailure to
request a split sample or failure to select and make arrangements, including payment for services,
with an approved laboratory within 10 calendar days after receiving written notification from the
Office of Operations, stewards or judges, of the results from the laboratory under contract with
the division shall constitute a waiver of the right to a split sample.”
