NY proposes new racehorse medication plan

Rick Violette Jr

A novel five-point conception over racehorse medication has been proposed past times the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association.

The NYTHA’s conception proposes the next :

• A ii micrograms threshold of phenylbutazone inwards post-race testing for all runners. Currently, the New York State Racing in addition to Wagering Board mandates solely a 48-hour withdrawal for phenylbutazone for all horses simply does non laid a testing threshold.
• A ban of all “adjunct” raceday medication, equally is currently enforced inwards New York. Adjunct medications are used inwards about jurisdictions to preclude practise induced pulmonary hemorrhage, or bleeding. They are non allowed inwards New York.
• A 15-day withdrawal for the steroid depo-medrol (an anti-inflammatory) and a four-day withdrawal fourth dimension for other corticosteroids (anti-inflammatories).
• Expansion of the withdrawal fourth dimension for the management of the broncho-dilator clenbuterol, from iv to 7 days.
• Race-day management of Lasix is solely past times racetrack hired or dry soil veterinarians. The New York Racing Association already follows this regulation.

NYTHA President Rick Violette Jr said he believed the initiatory should firstly inwards New York, simply the association was hoping for industry-wide back upwardly for the proposal.
