A local horse trainer who was caught on camera injecting a horse with performance-enhancing drugs in 2010 pleaded guilty to fraud and attempted fraud over $5,000 in Superior Court Monday. Chris Haskell, 39, was filmed using a syringe to give horse a tracheal and “intramuscular” injection during an OPP horse doping investigation in October 2010.

Racegoers bet a total of $26,669 on the event where Haskell’s horse ended up finishing out of the money in ninth. On Monday both the Crown and defence stated Haskell should face a $2,500 fine for the fraud (injecting a horse) and $1,250 for attempted fraud (being caught with drug-filled syringes).
