Done. But this is just the first step in a path the racing needs to take. Then again, at least it's a first step.

Race-day drugs: Integrity of industry at stake
It is hard to think of an issue in the Thoroughbred racing industry that has been more contentious or long lasting than the use of drugs. Most recently, the battle has centered on the use of race-day drugs; and two of racing's most important states, Kentucky and New York, are considering changes to their rules.

I disagree with Dale Romans here!!
Lasix benefits horses; ban would damage Kentucky racingAs I write this, I am in New York preparing Dullahan for the prestigious Belmont stakes, the biggest race of his young career.
In prior years, I would spend maybe a week or less away from my home and family in Kentucky, but it is different now. I'm learning to adjust to life in New York. I live in a flat about the size of the living room of my home in Kentucky.
