The Racing Medication and Testing Consortium’s (RMTC) Horseracing Testing Laboratory Committee voted this week to fully accredit the University of Florida Racing Laboratory (UFRL) pursuant to the RMTC Laboratory Accreditation Program.

The laboratory, which performs testing of horse racing samples for the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering, is the 10th to become RMTC-accredited since 2013.

With the addition of the Florida laboratory, RMTC-accredited laboratories are responsible for the testing of samples for 32 pari-mutuel racing jurisdictions in the U.S. The only racing commissions not utilizing an RMTC-accredited laboratory are Louisiana (Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse), South Dakota (Quarter Horse), and Delaware (harness only)
