An interesting sidebar to this will be the medication issue.
Perhaps it will be lost on the CHRB, and they won't even bother to monitor it, but essentially, Lethal Heat will have to run the 2nd race without the benefit of a 24 hr prerace treatment.
The Distaff will be the last BC race Friday, sometime in the afternoon, while the Turf Sprint will be early in the card Saturday.
As I understand it, the prerace treatment is 24hr prior to post time (in fact, some mules were scratched at Pomona this past meet for getting treated 23 hours out by mistake), so the timeframe doesn't allow for a 24hr treatment to be administered legally.
