Former trainer Guido sentenced to 20 months

Columbus, OH — Former Standardbred trainer Thomas Guido III was the latest to be sentenced for his role in a racehorse doping ring, receiving a 20-month prison sentence on Thursday (Nov. 17).

Guido, 56, who was active as a trainer from 1999 to 2007 in his native New York, pleaded guilty to one felony count of substantive drug misbranding and adulteration with intent to defraud and mislead in exchange for three conspiracy charges against him being dropped, according to a report from the Thoroughbred Daily News.

The sentence was delivered in the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York just two days after Rene Allard and Louis Grasso were sentenced to 27- and 50-month prison terms, respectively.
