Theobromine, theophylline and caffeine are all methylxanthines and their metabolism is interchanged, so one can sometimes find any of them from the administration of any of the other two compounds. Most consider theobromine to be an environmental or dietary contaminant. Theobromine is also found in husks of the cocoa nut. Since the husks are sometimes used as bedding for horses, there are opportunities for horses to be exposed to the theobromine in the bedding. Furthermore, shipping containers that were previously used to transport cocoa may contaminate horse feed if the containers are not adequately cleaned. Findings are quite rare above the 2 mcg/mL threshold. | |

| Joe C. Hundertpfund Jr. | 3/8/10 | DE | $300 | Lebron | failure to administer furosemide at a proper time, resulting in scratchCan be administered by intravenous injection no closer to the race than 4 hours. Administration guidelines regulated by a threshold. Violations usually due to administration closer than 4 hours or administration intramuscularly. Used to treat exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (bleeding). | |||
| Stephanie S. Beattie | 3/5/10 | MD | $500 | No Advantage | ranitidine and/or derivatives thereof (1st offense)RCI Class 5, used to treat and prevent stomach ulcers, which are a common problem in racing horses. | |||
| Christopher L. Short | 3/5/10 | OH | LEB | $250, DQ | unknown | ST | DMSO overageRCI Class 5; often used as part of topical leg paints due its ability to improve the absorption of other substances, has anti-inflammatory properties and can be administered for this purpose as an oral or intravenous jug. Positive tests are typically the result of the latter use due to the small concentrations resulting from topical use. | |
| Nelson S. Espaillat | 3/5/10 | MD | LFL | $500 | Jackie Lad | TB | phenylbutazone overage (1st offense within 12 mo.)RCI Class 4, permitted 24 hours before the race by intravenous injection.

| Keith L. O'Brien | 3/3/10 | NY | AQU | 15 days | DQ | Cash Value | TB | caffeineRCI Class 2; while caffeine has no known therapeutic use in the racehorse, many of the findings are the result of contamination due to the ubiquitous nature of caffeine in products such as colas, chocolate and coffee. Positives that result from suspected contamination would result in lower penalties. |
| Stanley C. Whittemore | 3/3/10 | FL | PPK | $250 | Seton Hall | ST | phenylbutazone overageRCI Class 4, permitted 24 hours before the race by intravenous injection.

| Charles W. Smith Jr. | 2/23/10 | OH | NFLD | $100, DQ | I've Had Better | ST | phenylbutazone & flunixin overagesRCI Class 4, see individual drug for description. A finding of both drugs in the same sample often leads to a harsher penalty due to the ”stacking” effect when multiple NSAIDS are administered at the same time. | |
