From the DRF story:

"We haven't fully researched it," Iavarone said Monday, after the group put out a statement announcing the policy. "We're committed to the rules they have in Europe and Dubai. That's the standard everyone mentions."

In general, European regulations do not allow any medications to be administered on raceday. The policies in many European countries allow for concentration levels of certain drugs in post-race tests, so that horsemen can administer medications to horses while in training.

In contrast, every racing jurisdiction in the United States allows for the raceday administration of furosemide. In addition, several other jurisdictions allow for the raceday administration of so-called "adjunct bleeder medications" used in concert with furosemide, and several jurisdictions also allow for administration of phenylbutazone, a painkiller, within 48 hours of a race. As in Europe, U.S. racing states use concentration levels for dozens of commonly used drugs.

Interesting that they would make a statement without having fully researched it.

Kind of eyeopening for those who believe European racing to be totally "drug free". For all the talk about how rampant our drug problem is and how nothing has been done, after Jan 1st the only real difference will be Lasix and Bute and Bute is not even given on raceday here.

They asked Dutrow what he thought about Iavarone's supposed new policy. Here is what Dutrow said: "He said it's all for raceday stuff and that's fine," Dutrow said. "I don't have any issues with that".

So what is he saying? He's saying that on race day they won't give anything except for lasix. They're not supposed to be giving anything on race day except for lasix.

It may have been taken out of context but it is funny. "We will stop giving meds on raceday except lasix" is similar to saying "I will not cheat on my wife except with my girrlfriend".

I thought big corporations tried to keep the fools behind the scenes where they cant be exposed. Unfortunately when you deal with the egos involved in this game the fools come out from behind the scenes.

Your quote has made perfect sense to me for years
