The only other kind of medication permitted in a horse´s bloodstream on race day is a small quantity of one of four "legal" anti-inflammatories - usually phenylbutazone, or "bute" - which will be indicated in The Racing Form with a capital "B" in the horse´s running lines (though all the anti-inflammatories are indicated with a "B"). Some trainers, in addition, will have the horse stand in a foreleg ice-bath for up to 90 minutes to relieve any nagging discomfort that might distract it from running its best race.

New York

Either one, but no more than one, of the following two
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be
administered by intravenous injection until 24 hours
before the scheduled post time of the race in which the
horse is scheduled to compete: flunixin, or
phenylbutazone.


New York is allowed up until 24 hours before, California is allowed in the horses system on race day.

You can go the CHRB website for further clarification. I will read you rule 1843.5. It states that "One of the following non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be administered until 24 hours before the post time of the race in which the horse is entered under Rule 1844 of this division: 1. Phenylbutazone; 2. Flunixin; 3. Ketroprefen.
