Trainer Jeff Mullins has been ordered to serve a 70-day suspension
for a medication violation in 2006, the California Horse Racing Board

but did not release it until over the weekend.
Mullins’s
suspension is scheduled to begin on June 1, and would run until Aug. 10,

meeting and for about half of the Del Mar meeting, which begins on July
