I read your Baffert scopolamine story today. California Section 1859.5 very clearly states that disqualification and purse forfeiture only takes place for Class 1,2 or 3 violations, not Class 4. ARCI drug classifications apply unless otherwise voted by the CHRB Board, but the penalty is determined by California laws and rules. I hope this clears up that question.
