TL;DR

Forte, last year's Eclipse Award-winning 2-year-old, has been disqualified from his victory in the 2022 Hopeful Stakes (G1) at Saratoga after testing positive for meloxicam. Trainer Todd Pletcher has been fined $1,000 and suspended for 10 days, pending a hearing. Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to relieve pain and inflammation. Forte's status for the Preakness remains in doubt.
