Alan Ngai's pair were disqualified from three races between them, but he is appealing against the stiff penalty of a five-month ban.
Ngai reached new levels of excitement when his horse, Lovely, claimed two wins in the province during June, before Southern Hope kept the momentum going with another victory.
But it was later discovered urine samples taken from the pair - who both ran on the Flat - contained the banned substance Sildenafil, which is the main derivative of Viagra.
In a statement, the Macau Jockey Club said Sildenafil was "a human preparation which had no legitimate use in a racehorse".
The organisation concluded: "It would also have an action on the cardiovascular, nervous and reproductive systems of a racehorse and as such was a prohibited substance."
Ngai admitted the charges and was fined a total of HK$300,000 (25,000), along with the suspension.
His appeal against the penalty will be heard on Saturday, when he expects to have a solid each-way chance.
