SEABOROUGH trainer Harry Fry has been fined £1,000 by the disciplinary panel of the British Horse-racing Authority after one of his horses tested positive for ketamine.

Bold Chief returned the positive test after being pulled up in the Pertemps Group Handicap Hurdle at Kempton on November 5, 2012.

Following submissions from Fry’s legal representative and a statement from the handler, the panel was unable to establish the source of the substance, and could not be sure the administration of the substance was accidental and Fry had taken all reasonable care.

They found Fry in breach of Rule (C)53 and fined him £1,000.
