From the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association

The Sales Integrity Program managed by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (TOBA) released data compiling the number of exogenous anabolic steroid tests and ownership registry submissions for the Fasig-Tipton, Keeneland, and Ocala Breeders’ Sales (OBS) Co. summer and fall yearling sales.

The data provided to TOBA by the three sales companies consists of the total number of horses tested for exogenous anabolic steroids with the corresponding test results and the number of submissions to the ownership registry with the corresponding number of ownership registry inquiries. The data is inclusive of Fasig-Tipton’s fall yearling sale in Lexington, Ky.

The data indicates that from a total of 6,230 yearlings sold in nine sales, 163 were tested for exogenous anabolic steroids. Of the 163 horses tested, one positive test result was returned from the August OBS sale. The positive finding did not result in a return as the buyer maintained ownership of the horse
