Allen Severinsen is a Racehorse trainer

While Doc Severinsen is known for the magic he does with his trumpet, his son chose a different career path. Severinsen left the show with Steve Allen in 1957 after playing with the member of the original band for Tonight Starring Steve Allen–  Steve Allen, Eddie Fisher, Dinah Shore, and Kate Smith. 

The leader of The Tonight Show Band, Skitch Henderson, later asked him to return as a first-chair trumpeter in 1962 for what had become The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, and five years later Severinsen was leading the band. He styled the NBC Orchestra after taking the lead on The Band and it eventually became perhaps the best-known big band in America.

Doc Severinsen’s son Allen Severinsen on the other hand chose to be a professional Racehorse trainer. According to UPI, Allen was suspended in 1989 from the Bay Meadows track after a second horse he trained tested positive for a drug after winning a race.

He was suspended by the track’s board of stewards, which in September of that same year had fined him $750 after another horse he trained tested positive after winning a race. Acepromazine and Procaine turned up in a urinalysis after the horses won a race.

However, Allen Severinsen denied the claim and was not sure how that happened. ‘I don’t know how this could have happened because we try to be so careful about everything,’ Allen said in the UPI report. ‘I’m 100 percent innocent. I’m not afraid to admit that to anybody. But due to the trainer-insurer rule, it makes me guilty.’

“There is nothing I can do except to try to be more organized and make sure it doesn’t happen again“- He went on to say. The rule was that a trainer is responsible for the condition of any horse he runs in a race. The Steward also said Allen’s story was plausible enough and that perhaps this was an error at the barn and he needs to be careful The Los Angeles Times reported.

The two drugs found in the horse are mostly used in the treatment of the racehorses but their presence in post-race testing is a violation of California Horse Racing Board rules. Acepromazine can have a settling effect on a nervous horse and Procaine is sometimes used with penicillin in treating infections.
