Cullen Removed From O'Brien Consideration

OH K Man, a horse that Travis Cullen trains and drives, was issued a positive test by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) on Monday, December 4 for TCO2.

Mr. Cullen made Standardbred Canada aware of the positive test result on Tuesday afternoon, and acknowledged that he shouldn’t qualify for an O’Brien Award.

Following review of O’Brien eligibility policies and criteria, Standardbred Canada has determined that Cullen is not eligible for an O’Brien Award in 2017. He will be removed from the ballot as a candidate for the O’Brien Award of Horsemanship, and is also not eligible for the Trainer or Driver of the Year Award.

Marc Campbell and Guy Gagnon will be the two finalists for the O’Brien Award of Horsemanship.
