The drug was given to the horse by the stable foreman without Smith's specific authorization but under New York racing rules he was held responsible as the horse's trainer.
In his absence, Roy Waldren, trained for a time for Maine Chance Farm, winning the Pimlico Futurity with Star Pilot, before Smith's 36 year old son, Jimmy took over for the remainder of the suspension.
