Some doctor not associated with the team said at one point it wasn't typical to give vitamins the day of a match (if I remember right)
But the horses were getting a mineral (electrolyte type) supplement to help with the heavy exercise workload they have at a match. That's why it's given, so nothing unusual about that. Wouldn't be much use to give it on a non-heavy-exercise day.
