Race-Day Drugs Focus of KHRC Meeting
A Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC) committee will hold what could be a six- to seven-hour meeting on race-day medication Nov. 14 in Frankfort, the state capital.
The Race Day Medication Committee is looking into the question of whether therapeutic medications such as Salix should be banned on race day. Salix, an anti-bleeding drug, is used throughout North America, while adjunct bleeder medications are used in several states, including Kentucky.
