Nevada Gaming Control Board fines Ricardo Castillo $100,000 and bars him for 15 years

Enforcement & compliance

The Nevada Gaming Control Board fined horse trainer Ricardo Castillo $100,000 and barred him from racing for 15 years after four horses tested positive for methamphetamine at the Elko County Fairgrounds. The Board considered the case after Castillo appealed stewards’ earlier ruling; the horses were disqualified from winnings totalling $17,700.

The sanction removes Castillo from Nevada racing and signals enforcement over drug violations affecting race integrity.
