NEW YORK — Trainer Jeff Mullins has been suspended for seven days and fined $2,500 by the New York State Racing and Wagering Board for giving one of his horses medication before a stakes race at Aqueduct.

Mullins violated New York racing rules by administering an over-the-counter medication to Gato Go Win while the horse was in a security barn before the Bay Shore Stakes on April 4. The horse was scratched by the New York Racing Association stewards.

The suspension begins May 3, the day after the Mullins-trained I Want Revenge runs in the Kentucky Derby.

The ruling was released Sunday.

Race-day medication is prohibited in New York except for the anti-bleeding medication, Salix, which can only be administered by a veterinarian.
